Many companies have had trouble getting real value out of social networking applications. In addition, next-generation social networking applications will involve deeper collaborative capabilities than twitter or Facebook. Successful designs will rely on interaction design to create the context that makes these communities work.

Several key social networking and interaction design principles can be applied to applications addressing some of the major challenges facing the country today: financial markets, insurance, and healthcare.

Specific examples will be presented.
