Social Applications such as Facebook Applications offers an unprecedented opportunity to make viral content available to potentially huge audiences at minimal up-front costs. ASP Global Works have been working with the Facebook API, BEBO API and OpenSocial (Myspace, Orkut, Hi5) API to understand the capabilities of Social Networks as an application platform. As a result, we are able to build and launch applications very rapidly and make full use of the friend and notification features in order to help a viral application to spread. Social application design and development can be split into the following outline stages:

• Initial viral concept
• Refine for the opportunities the Facebook application presents
• Create storyboards
• Design
• Create prototype
• Test with limited group
• Test with a wider group
