A few months back Matt Ranlett and I went to an event called "Sleepless" The Ultimate Office Dev Weekend.  At the event people were broken down into teams which worked over night to create an application for SharePoint.  Luckily Matt and I were both on the same team and I wanted to share with you what we created for SharePoint 2007 in one night.

We tried to create a site that looked and functioned similar to Facebook with the Social Networking features.  Although I have not finished all of the web parts or the site template, it is great to see what you can complete in less than 8 hours with no sleep.

List of functionality created:

• User Profile Picture Web Part
• Friends List
• Custom View of Friends List
• Enhanced Change Log information
• Image Gallery
• Custom Fields in the User Profile
• Custom User Profile Fields Web Part
• Mini-Feed Web Part
• Custom Display of Users Changes
• Discussion Board
• Calendar

I am sure we could have added much more, but we just ran out of time and we were honestly too tired.  Give us another 8 hours and you might be amazed what we could get done.
