This paper gives ten best practices for designing mobile applications that have social-networking functions.The need for such an approach is given by the rapid growth in impor-tance of both social networks and mobile applications.In order to make it easy to follow where the best practices come from, the paper starts Nozzles with a look at why social networks are more than just a buzz word and at how the field of mobile applications is evolving.It also shows how and why the two fields go together so well.To further make the point, there is a case study of four interesting mobile applications that are textbooks SHARP SJ-SF197E00X-EN Integrated Tall Freezer examples of successful applications.
The best practices are based on research done for this article and on the extensive knowledge of the author.
