Quote:It is easy to create a social network,but difficult to succeed.
If you want to create a real network,code it by yourself.
If you want a minimal network among your friends...here is the list
AND ALL ARE FREE OPEN SOURCE.
I made a research on all these for my college site and now struck in MYBB,trying to move to DISCUZ X as it is awesome.
1.Elgg
2.Dolphin
3.Jcow(version 5 is not free until march)
4.Discuz X (i really recommend this,it is chinese but the link i gave is english)
also try www.msg2me.com
5.Anahita social engine (in beta version,alpha is free for public)
6.Oxwall
7.Buddypress(you need a wordpress install first)
if you get any new please post here......i would be grateful to complete the list.
hope this helps.
regards,
Dr.Envira

Looks Good.
I will be trying a few of these when I get some time.
So which one is your preferred?
I see Discuz x is recommended.

yeah discuz x ,is really under looked,but after using it i really came to know the depth of it.......too good for a small community of your school/college or friends.
i use it for my school site,and mybb for my colege site....realy i would recommend it.

I've always considered trying to build my own social networking site, I might try one of these out now, thanks.

Yeah buddies,
The site i created with discuz x is really working great.
In depth it is a mini facebook with forums,blogs too.
I recommend 10/10 for everyone who wants something more than a forum.

You forgot StatusNET which is very similar to twitter.

You forgot Diaspora, but it isn't out yet so I guess that's why you didn't count it.
