Advance Praise for Designing Social Interfaces

“A fabulous resource for companies looking to take advantage of the powers of the social web! This is a must-read for engineers and designers new to developing for social media, and an excellent reference for the seasoned designer.”

Abby Kirigin, Interaction design consultant/Product strategy advisor

“Erin and Christian have put together an astounding collection of the most important social design patterns in use today. I recommend it for anybody building a social website or application... I wish I had this book three years ago!”

Joshua Porter, Founder of Bokardo Design and author of Designing for the Social Web (New Riders)

“Christian and Erin have pulled together the current thinking on social design into a common language for driving interactions via usable open standards, open source, open processes, and interoperability.”

David Recordon, OpenID Foundation

“With this book, the problem of designing social interfaces just got a lot easier. Malone and Crumlish capture an amazing number of interaction idioms as patterns and then proceed to tease out the nuances in each. Designing Social Interfaces is an indispensable resource on my shelf. I will be heartily recommending it to others in the field.”

Bill Scott, Director of UI Engineering at Netflix and coauthor of O’Reilly’s Designing Web Interfaces
