Create Your Own Social Network

[Matthew Sherborne]

Have you had dreams of creating the next Myspace or Facebook social networking website. If so you'll be happy
to know that creating your own social network isn't as far off as it may seem. There are many social networking
platforms now available that make it possible to create your own Web 2.0 presence practically overnight.

Some of the biggest Web 2.0 platforms for creating your own site are:

1. Ning
2. CrowdVine
3. KickApps
4. GoingOn
5. Me
6. CollectiveX

These sites can all ge you started with your own social networking website. So what are you waiting for. Take
that popular niche of yours and target it with it's own social network.

I've done a little searching around for the best social networking platform. A couple that you haven't mentioned are People Aggregator (wierd name)and Elgg (wierder name)

Here they are the links to get more information -

The Main PeopleAggregator network Home Page

Elgg: the open source social networking platform

I kicked around the idea of starting my own network for auction lovers, maybe still will since it is so popular. Any feedback on any of the best social networking platforms would be great!

Great info here about creating your own social network. Im surprised that phpfox is not on the list I thought that was one of the most popular, maybe Im behind the times?

Anyone know how to create one that pays its users, as I notice Narple and Rotatrix and Zubby all have very similar interfaces.
