Microsoft Social Network Design Camp: Prototype the Next Social Network
The Microsoft Social Network Design Camp challenges you to come up with the sketch that will be the start of the next big social network. And as we have advanced a bit since then, we will provide you with the latest in digital prototyping to make sure your sketch will look awesome too.

So send us your ideas on what you think the next killer app will be in social networking and we will use them in our Design Camps.

During the Social Network Design Camp small groups will work together to develop the prototypes – the best of which will be demoed to the full audience during the PICNIC Bites sessions.

Social Network Design Camp Tools
Sketching and prototyping are proven techniques that enable you to explore ideas and concepts quickly without excessive investment in either time or resources.

This Design Camp uses Microsoft SketchFlow that enables you to quickly and efficiently demonstrate your vision for your social network application. It provides an informal and quick way to explore, iterate and prototype user interface scenarios, allowing you to evolve your concepts from a series of rough ideas into a living and breathing prototype that can be made as real as you want.
