On Friday someone linked me to a Facebook developers page about Social Design (I think it was Christian Hernandez, Head of International Business Development at Facebook). Facebook’s purpose in putting the page together is pretty obvious – they want people to write better social apps on Facebook so they are giving out some helpful pointers.
Their advice to devs building social apps is:
- Use the existing community on Facebook rather than try and build your own community from scratch (surprise, surprise…)
- Encourage new conversations by building “tools and experiences that give people the power to connect and share, allowing them to effectively listen and learn from each other”
- Help individuals within the community build their own identity
