Dear All,
With respect to the thread on social design, I recommend a free online book published by the Interaction Design Foundation of Denmark. IDF is a not-for-profit educational organization. As Forbes Magazine notes, IDF provides "Ivy League level education in UX, Product Design or Human-Computer Interaction.” (Full disclosure — several members of this list work with the IDF, including Don Norman and me.)
The book that is relevant to the thread on social design is by Brian Whitworth and Adnan Ahmad. The title is The Social Design of Technical Systems: Building Technologies for Communities. 2nd Edition.
You can read it free at:

Yours,
Ken
