The Web 2.0 paradigm (also called the Social Web) has greatly contributed to this achievement. We believe that the next wave of smart devices and digital objects will leverage the pervasiveness of Internet connectivity in order to form ecosystems and societies of artifacts that implement Internet-based social behaviors and interact with existing Internet-based social networks. In this paper, we introduce the concept of social device and describe our experiences creating different kinds of augmented objects that use the Internet in order to promote socialization, look smarter and better serve users. We finally identify several challenges in the research of devices that behave in social ways.}, number = {4952}, urldate = {2013-10-28TZ}, booktitle = {The {Internet} of {Things}}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, author = {Vazquez, Juan Ignacio and L\xf3pez de Ipi\xf1a, Diego}, editor = {Floerkemeier, Christian and Langheinrich, Marc and Fleisch, Elgar and Mattern, Friedemann and Sarma, Sanjay E.}, month = jan, year = {2008}, keywords = {ISI, Information Systems Applications (incl.Internet), Internet of Things, intelligent objects, pervasive computing}, pages = {308--324} }']
