Social Network Applications - Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster & Orkut

Facebook is one of the fastest growing social networking websites and is quickly becoming a powerful and cost effective portal, ideal for organisations to create that ‘brand connection’ in the Web2.0 world.

Social Networking platforms such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster and Orkut has provided an unprecedented opportunity for corporations to use their applications for commercial purposes such as ecommerce, advertising and branding. Datacreatives have been working with the Facebook, Bebo and Open Social API to understand and implement branding capacity for companies who want to take their product to a new level. As a result, we are able to build and launch functional applications and make full use of the viral tools and features in order to accelerate the company potential in reaching highly targeted audiences.

Social Network application design and development can be split into the following outline stages:

• Background concept
• Finalized Concept
• Storyboarding and Design Presentation
• Prototype Development
• Beta release with focus group(s)
• Final Launch
