		<description>HI
 I am thinking of starting a social networking place. I am new to face book but I had one in NING and Flickr. I want to be the owner of one the one in control. What would you recomend me to do for a beginner. I know start small. I have been researching today on google.And came across this page. I am thinking of buying the software for the licence and running it off my website. I am looking for sugestions and a way to beat fb at thier own game by keeping it clean.
 I have the money to use. I don&#039;t know where to start and I just came off of 2 bad business promoting things Text Ads and Traffic Exchanges. Like just this week. So I want something for me to run and make people happy and feel safe.
 Where do I go from here email me at jackie@jackiepopp.com
Thank you Jackie Popp/ Arkansas</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know anything about this technology. I&#039;m wondering about the possibility of an open source SN site to compete with Facebook, one that would have similar features but much better privacy settings, be free of advertising, being supported by low-cost subscriptions (such as $10 a year).</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t forget SocialEngine (http://www.socialengine.net). SocialEngine is a strong player in the white-label social networking market and allows you to setup a PHP-based network on your website.</description>

		<description>Social Network Empire is a platform that is mainly sold in the &quot;internet marketing&quot; arena, but it seems to be a pretty cool &quot;Hosted by them&quot; solution.  I recently purchased from them.  I believe it is only an invite only kindof thing or that they only open their doors a couple times a year.

I have tested a ton of various scripts and my favorite from your list of 5 above is elgg.

Nice post.  
great SEO.</description>

		<description>The problem with most of the social network scripts you have mentioned there is that they are maintained and coded by enthusiasts and not businesses. This means that critical bugs can take a while to be fixed, there are not frequent updates and support can be lacking.

I&#039;m surprised Joomla didn&#039;t make the list along with buddypress, but if people are looking for a robust solution, paid software like Dolphin, iSocial and SocialEngine should be considered.</description>
