Want your own LinkedIn site (social networking)?

Sadly, I have a hard time sharing good finds (as in scripts) as they get ruined when overused. However, I've seen numerous posts regarding opensource Social Software. Of all the posts I've read on the topic the only recommendation I've come across is http://www.tufat.com/s_free_dating_system.htm . IMO, the script just doesn't seem up to par.

By complete luck I came across a much better solution:

Great tool and I look forward to adding it to my production community site. Hope you all find it useful and realize how hard it was for me to share

 

tufats script is nice for dating sites...
your recommendation is good for social networking sites.
thank you for the info

 

Nice find, Kudos to you

 

Hi ... i was just wishing to know how do u feel its similar to www.linkedin.com ? i mean i tried to demo it and did not see any features like linkedin. Sorry if i'm ignorant but i would appreciate if you can impart me the knowledge as i'm looking for a business networking cum job networking script

 

take a look of whozzat.com

If you like this site, better than orkut

I can provide you this.....

mail me on smartpushp@gmal.com

 

Should try http://business-space.org
At least they claim to be a LinkedIn Clone script.

 

Beware of this site www.business-space.org. It is from the same people who brought you Abledating and everybody knows what a scam that was. The company is ABK-Soft and run by Dimtry Rudakov and is based in Russia and not the U.S as they try and state.
The software is a Linkedin clone but the sales and marketing are the same and the end result will be the same. You will get crap software and no refund unless you play hardball with your CC company.
They use a merchant account in the Netherlands called Avangate who will also not listen to you.
Once again beware of www.business-space.org

 

WARNING

DO NOT TRUST KONEYISLANDER.
HE IS CLOSE RELATED TO ABK-SOFT, RUSSIAN SCAMMER COMPANY WHO CREATE ABLEDATING, ABLESPACE AND ALSO BUSINESS-SPACE LINKEDIN CLONE.

CHECK HTTP://WWW.DATINGSCRIPTREVIEWS.COM AND GOOGLE AND SEARCH FOR "ABK-SOFT" OR "ABLEDATING" AND YOU'LL SEE THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE.

 

ilook is a hysterical pregnant lady not knowing anything about the software he tries to pour dirt on. Ask him anything about the script's features, which of them work properly, which not, why he insists that this script is bad and that is not, he does not know what to answer, except highlighting his shit with red and hysterically crying at every corner.

He is surely a shill hired by the company's competetors, and all his recent posts talk about this.

Again, ilook, if you are a man, you will start writing real technical reviews, telling about software's features, drawbacks etc.

But if you are a hysterical nymphette (which you are) you will continue shouting like a pig at every corner, and what is more extravagant, highlighting your shit with red color

 

Call me what you want, fact is i dont scam people like you and your friends.
I dont know if youre a little blind or something, but my sites are REVIEWED BY REAL CUSTOMERS.
Not by me.... clear enough???
Seems not... but i dont mind.
I dont need to create fake websites to sell crappy stuff and scam people.
Keep that in mind, youre a liar (see the other thread where i reveal youre a liar and scammer).

 

ilook is a shill hired by Dmitry Rudakov or Dolphin, he reviews the software himself or copy-pastes contents of the developer's sites.
For example (kill me if it is a software review and not the features' list):

AbleDating by ABK-Soft is a very good software script. It is so good that there are special people hired to live on the forums like this (Socialnetworker, ilook, etc.) to pour dirt on the software, but what is good, they can not name any facts. All the bugs that were there in 2007 have already been got rid of. There are thousands of sites created with AbleDating, and you can see them at http://www.abledatingsites.com
There are thousands of rather happy customers, although not of them will ever achive grand success: http://www.abledatingreview.com
There is a design department that consists of several professional designers http://www.abledating-designs.com and http://www.abkdesign.com
There is a 3D City department (somewhere in Dania I suppose) that creates 3D City for the software, http://www.3d-city.net
There is a professional helpcenter that is available at http://abledating.helpserve.com 24/7

And there is a very cool feature in development, called Sitesman: http://www.abk-soft.com/forum/viewtopic.html?t=1536

And there is Socialnetworker and his closest friend ilook who find the fact that both of them have too short cocks a rather good reason to be friends and do their best trying to spoil reputation of a decent software script. Maybe not ideal of course, but VERY good.

 

First of all, you must be blind and deaf together KoneyIslander.
I already explained these two websites are running on REAL CUSTOMER REVIEWS.
Enough said about that.
Dont try to change the subject, because the subject is you belong to ABK-soft, scammers group from Russia.

People DONT NEED to believe me.
Just read an official report from the Better Business Bureau, what gives a NEGATIVE advice about ABK-Soft.

http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportPage_Expository.aspx?CompanyID=100058710

See http://www.datingscriptreviews.com/warning-abk-soft for more info how i unmasked and reveal KoneyIslander, who have setup a fake review website (datingsoftwarereviewer.com is fake).
Remember KoneyIslander... you already agree that its a fake review website

All with prove and screenshots!
No bullshit salestalk what he is trying to do to scam more innocent people.
Only facts and prove....

 

Seems I am not the only one here who sees it

 

He might talk about you scammer
By the way, 28 posts... hmm... created a fake account fast and let Dmitry himself be involved here?
Nice try...

CRIMINAL!

 

@smartpushp

Are you giving it as GPL script.
If yes then I certainly want this.

 

ilook is a shill hired either by Boonex or by Dmitry Rudakov, who owns several dating software development companies. You go from ABK, you come to his other company.
Also ilook posts fake complains to BBB. Name me a company and I will make it have an F rating at BBB, posting complains, especially if this company is connected with Russia.
Beware of ilook, a scammer and forum flooder.

 

Remember KoneyIslander.... Facts never lie
