i want to have social network site

Hello guys,

Would like to know how could i have one social network site? Can you recommend some sort of features to be include inside the site?

I'm going to custom made it and I just need some ideas on what to be input to the social site.

toby

 

there are couple scripts you can use for social networking sites. there is still room for social networking sites but only if you give the users something new.

 

really, netpox? can you give me the link to those script site?

 

check this one www.dzoic.com

another one phpfox.com

 

You can use Ning

 

Try putting up some sort of tournaments/competitions where people would compete in something to gain their attention and will to participe in it and in your site

 

Social Networking sites are very competitive these days, so make sure that you've got a unique one.

 

Handshakes is probably the best one.

Here is a demo: http://www.handshakesdemo.com/

 

Youre going to have to have something unique and attractive in your site to compete with myspace.

 

I want to integrate a social network into my site also - Handshakes does look good, also integrates with VBulletin which I need

 

That handshakes default skin looks dirty, also i would rather be able to at least customize a few things in the skin and that and maybe customize the coding as the community grew bigger. Here it doesnt seem that, thats possible

 

Hey Jason If you find something let me know, I am looking for the same, I have a few GREAT ideas that I need to use to wipe out m y s p a c e....haha

 

If anyone needs a partner i'm willing to help in building a new social networking site.

 

I would be interested but I want something original, none of those cookie cuter sites....

 

Hmm, you posted nice links. Thanks for sharing

 

Dzoic Handshakes

Did you try Handshakes ?

You can customize it the way you want . very very easy to edit templates and have your own look.

Example of Handshakes site www.yosmile.com

 

Do not use scripts like Handshakes if you want to achieve success. Read This
If you use those scripts you should target some specific audience rather than just the general mass.
If you'd like to develop something like myspace or facebook for the general public, you definitely have to custom code it and have something new in there.

 

I made a social shopping site sometime ago: http://www.shoppersale.com

But managing it and keeping it clean from spammers is taking some minutes everyday.

 

i will not like to be negetive with your idea, but ensure that you have good financial back up and ability to upgrade regularly, competing with existing social networks is gonna be very difficult, if u feel the features you have in your mind can out beat the rest then go for it.
try doing good research before u start spending for developments
