Not too much:
Low CPI in social networks

Facebook's members appear indifferent even to movie advertising aimed at their demographic. Clickthrough rates, the percentage of time users click on an ad, average 0.04% — just 400 clicks in every 1m views

Sorry, most of them flop...

but...
you can still generate value!
On the web...
! Intensify and enhance user generated content
! Increase visitor loyalty: I stay where my friends are
!Get new visitors through third party network integration
! Increase page views per visitor
!Reduce spam and abuse through online reputation management
!Roll with the mobile web: 40% of mobile traffic is to social networks
31
Behind the firewall...
!Collaboration happens across the org chart
!The org chart does not reflect the social reality
!Social networks with ad-hoc networking
!allow collaboration across departments
!social network analysis becomes possible
!The net generation joining the workforce requires Enterprise 2.0 collaboration
32
Do’s and don’t
!Build a new stand-alone social network
!Create viral-only applications
!Require extensive data input from users
!Lock in users and content in your system
33
!Leverage existing social networks
!Enhance applications by making them social
!Leverage existing data and content
!Encourage mashups and APIs
Don’t Do
Some words on APIs
! Bad social web applications have no API
! they do not facilitate data sharing, create lock in
! Mediocre social web applications add an API later
! they see an API as something that is granted to third party developers, not to users
! Good social web applications have a complete API
! they understand that APIs can drive adoption and make an application an essential part of web infrastructure
! Superb social web applications are built on top of their own API
! eating your own dogfood makes the API only better and creates more value for user through third-party integration
