Event	SXSW Interactive 2009
Format	Panel
Organizer	Mussie Shore – Google
Description	Most social activity on the web is limited today, bottled up in a handful of social networks. Yet social features can provide tremendous value for almost any site on the web. This panel takes a look at real world examples, designs and techniques of sites, blogs, and services that have successfully tapped into the social web to enhance their site and engage users.
Questions Answered	Why break down the barriers on the social web? How do I go about incorporating social features into my site? What tools are out there to help me do this? How have others used these tools? What social features can I add? What are the benefits to my users/visitors? What are the benefits to me? How have other sites benefited from doing this? How has the industry been responding? What is the future of the social web?
