Need advice on which script/software to use to run it. Basically i want something like myspace to start of with, but will extend it. thanks for all your help.
What kind of social network is it? Check out this thread btw. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=390875
It will be a social network for seniors 50+ years. I tried to set one up with joomla but was having all kinds of plugin problems. All the Best,
Using a paid service (SNAPP) from Me.com you can set up a complete social networking site.... http://targetlife.wordpress.com/200...-website-like-orkut-myspace-using-snapp-tool/ In this link i've reviewed their service and diff. plans....
SNAPP's pricing model is a bit over the top if you ask me, after those fees they still get to keep a percentage of your AdSense earnings? *$199/month for 1 to 25,000 members 25,001 to 50,000 members $414/month 50,001 to 100,000 members $699/month 100,001 to 250,000 members $1,259/month 250,001 to 500,000 members $2,099/month 500,001 to 1 million members $3,494/month Not a business model for the long-tail.
I installed PHPfox for a customer once. Its a really nice looking script, but it seemed very very slow.
I installed and designed several, but ultimately was very disappointed on how the software performed, specially at high volumes.. it just wasn't built for scalability.
phpfox is ok, but its kinda slow, you need to turn off alot of nice feature of the site such as ajax, comments and so on...but give it a try though, they have upgraded their version though its not stable yet...
