    What Hacker News says

      I'm seeing a lot of criticism (mostly unfair IMO) of these principles, but I'll say that Josh Porter's book "Designing for the Social Web" is a must-read. Easily one of the most accessible, practical, and insightful design books I've read.

      Designing for the Social Web by Joshua Porter is one of the better books I've ever read (3-4 times). My former colleagues at AboutUs.org even had a weekly book club for it.

      I just read "Designing for the Social Web" and there's a chapter on "Collective Intelligence" (Chapter 6) http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Social-Voices-That-Matter/dp...

      It doesn't get into any technical implementation details but does cover design, strategy, and issues you should consider.

      You might want to browse that chapter at your favorite bookstore.

      Also check out "Programming Collective Intelligence" by Oreilly. I haven't read it yet, but it is sitting on my shelf.
