Social Patterns and Antipatterns For the Win

1. What does social really mean, what's a design pattern, and what the heck is an antipattern
2. How can I use ratings to improve the quality of my content? (Hint: think about the size of your community)
3. I have an active community on my site but people are misbehaving. How can I get that under control?
4. We want to build a really cool social experience around [thingy] but we’re not sure how to get people to come join the fun [aka, the “cold start” problem]
5. I have a great idea for a social utility but I don’t want to have to first re-create the social infrastructure of the Web inside of it. How can I glue together existing APIs?
6. I want to add social capabilities to my intranet. What kind of moderation workflow do I need to prevent misbehavior? (Hint - almost surely none)
7. Are SEO and community building compatible? Should everything be indexed or should there be concentric circles of intimacy?
8. How can I create viral growth for my app without being spammy?
9. Where are there good repositories of social design patterns online (or in books)? (High-priced gurus optional)
10. How do you define success in a social site or service?
