(the most commonly shared item). People don&#8217;t share facts, they share feelings. (i.e. the before and after photos graphics of Japan tsunami)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Explicitly design for personal identity or social identity (focus on one).<br \/>\nPersonal Identity: A product that helps new parents catalog and share the first year of their babies life<br \/>\nSocial Identity: A product that helps new parents connect with and get advice other new parents<br \/>\n2. Show people things they have in common with each other.<br \/>\n3. Design lightweight ways for people to interact. (i.e. comment and like button)<br \/>\nLays Facebook campaign (I&#8217;d eat that!)<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/allfacebook.com\/lays-crowdsourcing-chips_b95110<br \/>\n4. Design for feelings, not facts. (Generated feelings (i.e. Lays chips)<br \/>\n5. Give suggestions for who to communicate with.<br \/>\n6. Design the feed story first.<br \/>\n7. Design the friend&#8217;s experience (don&#8217;t focus on just the user, but beyond the customer. We are not isolated as one person)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Build a hypothesis based on social science research (you don&#8217;t have to do research anymore)<br \/>\n2. Build a simple product<br \/>\n3. Launch it, real identity, real friends<br \/>\n4. Measure. iterate. Analytics, primary and research.<br \/>\n5.
