Web 2.0 Notes: Social Interface Design Patterns
Workshop Title
Designing Social Interfaces: Principles, Best Practices and Patterns for Designing the Social Web
Presenters
Erin Malone (Tangible UX) and Christian Crumlish (Yahoo!)
This was the first workshop I attended this week, on Tuesday. Malone and Crumlish have done a ton of work assembling a comprehensive set of design patterns that can be applied to social software. In their workshop, they ran through a number of scenarios, each showing how various patterns might be applied.
What’s interesting here is that each pattern codifies not only the justification for its application, but also the pitfalls that can be associated with each. One example of many: Letting users form an identity through your software forces them behave as there is now something at stake. Give them a reputation system that incentivizes too much competition, however, and your networks will break down.
Detailed notes, links, images, and the full slide deck can be found after the jump.
Note: I mention Christina Wodtke’s presentation a number of times in my notes. This was a workshop on the same topic that I attended later that day. Those notes will come my next post.

Intro to Social Design Patterns
Examples will be drawn from eGroups, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Patterns include both components and larger, overarching patterns. Designing these interfaces is a holistic exercise that extends from the data architecture to the presentation layer.A Simple Taxonomy:
