Just came across Mike Johnston’s list of 10 software platforms that allow you to easily start a social network. We haven’t done such a list in a while, and such software sprouts up and evolves quickly.
Software to Start a Social Network
Johnson, who writes on the CMS Critic blog, lists these self-hosted solutions for how to start a social network:
- Buddypress
- Eligg
- Commons/Drupal Commons
- SocialEngine
- JomSocial
- Ning
- SocialGo
- Spruz
- PhpFox
- Dolphin
Johnson’s post provides hyperlinks, brief descriptions and a graphic on the interface. His list will be useful to those who want software suggestions and those weighing the pros and cons of various platforms you might use to start a social network.
