Social software is a whole new world in many ways and people everywhere are trying to figure out how to design effective and compelling applications.  I offer for your consideration today three recent attempts to articulate social software design best practices.  Let's discuss.

He saves all kinds of good examples of contemporary interface design in the social software world.  I point people to it all the time, now you can too.
