Social applications and the social interactions they provide have permeated many aspects of our lives. This has become increasingly more prolific with the introduction of mobile applications which facilitate a more convenient and consequently more frequent interaction. As user experience and user interface designers we are challenged with designing and facilitating relevant forms of interaction.

This session will cover an introduction to social interaction; discuss new design patterns that can be leveraged to support a successful social space, as well as discuss how DotNetNuke can be used to deliver a social solution.
