Any idea ? I want to buy one , it must not have POWERED BY link , please list the BEST. no worry about budget !
Dont use some clones or other stuff. if you have good budger, hire someone, who can do it for you. f.e me
If budget is not anything to worry about go custom! Then it will be completely unique - all selling social networks scripts have branding one way or the other either on the website or in their source code. Some free social script: http://elgg.org/ http://www.boonex.com/dolphin/ social script with a price tag: http://www.phpfox.com/ ($348 - Community with brand removal, has an active community for their clients) http://www.dzoic.com/ ($298 - Handshakes with brand removal) http://socialgo.com (monthly pricing, don't think you can run it on your own though) http://www.socialengine.net/ ($580, go with their older version 3 cause their new version is still not stable) Go custom if you have the money for it!
Take a look here There are a lot of very good script There is also this one for social networking sites and this one for dating sites
there are many online tools which are available such as iscripts socialware which comes at affordable rates..
There are hell lots of bugs in free scripts or if they don't have bugs their designs are pretty useless, i have a perfect facebook clone if you or anyone needs it then you are most welcome to contact me
I've always gone with PHPFox but it depends on your budget, if you can afford an PHPFox license go for it.
I would go with Social Media http://www.mediascripts.com. I use it on my two social sites. http://www.thejesustv.com and http://www.ukulelevideos.com Jereme
I own a license myself too. It's not a social network script, it's a Youtube clone. Not much "social" on it.
i think you can try on with iscripts socialware.iscripts have got a wide range of functionality. it is very user friendly and really affordable.
I rather like the phpfox version,never really thought about one of these types of sites before so would the best option be to start from scratch from a new build sites or go for a established site and can these sites be run by just one person or is it best to set one up in a partnership.The hardest bit as far as i can see at the moment is finding a decent domain. Does anyone have any thoughts on this one please.
