Some FREE Open Source Social Networking Scripts on net

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.

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.

[envira]

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.

Nice, I might check it out some time.

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

[envira]

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.
