- virtualball, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14NO MORE SOCIAL NETWORKS!!!!
- fLUx1337, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I have built my social network by visiting somewhere called "outside"...
Totally works, has every feature you can think of - writing on walls (with spray paint), sending people private messages (via SMS), adding friends (by remembering their name)......but as you are walking around, you see poster ads... :( - canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7maybe because pligg is an open source cms/aggregator similar to digg and not a social network? maybe you do little or no research before making your comments
- spinchange, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The Internet/World Wide Web itself is a giant "social network." Look at blogs, widgets, RSS, XML, etc. (Heck, good ole hyperlinks!)
Facebook, Myspace, et al -- they're all walled gardens - which is fine, but not necessary. - tony4moroney, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5i guess we're going to see really homogenized social networks that are tailored for very specific interests.
gaming social network
porn social network
gay social network
tech social network
the list goes on!!
... personally.. id rather stick with where the majority stays.. so facebook still wins out - canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4the future of social networks is niche sites. think of facebook/myspace as network tv, where the niche sites are cable channels catering to a more targeted audience.
i think people will always have accounts at the big players, but i could also see a crop of local networks or niche interest networks being successful as well. - psylence, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Step 1: Please don't.
- r0b1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Has anyone ever used LinkedIn for anything besides seeing who can get the most connections in your office?
- championchap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2deviantArt, MySpace, FaceBook.. I used to be on more but i would forget to check them all too often.
It is deffinatly for the best just to stick to one or two, and as you say.. the ones where your friends are are the ones that you'll visit.. damn you MySpace! - strafefire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why not just use http://www.ning.com ?
It was created by Marc Andresson...so... - philovivero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yawn. Call me when you make a social networking metagenerator that can scale beyond a couple thousand users. I really want to see it. It'd be an awesome thing.
I could stop scaling Digg and start surfing pr0n.
Let's admit it. Digg has some pretty basic functionality. Make something that can reproduce Digg at Digg's traffic levels. *THEN* you'll have my attention. Hmm. Better yet, make something that can reproduce cndb at Digg's traffic levels! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1the advertising of a site shouldn't matter...

- mhendric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Interceptor - please see my comment below the post (#65) regarding Pligg and why it wasn't included as part of the round up.
- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think what's more likely is that "Social Network" is just going to become a bullet-point on a site's list of features.
- arulprakashar, on 02/13/2009, -0/+0I think social networks are easier to develop today and the ones that are made today cannot be myspace or facebook but they are Niche social networks like http://indianbee.com are here to stay, If you want a website a social network which is the indian version of Facebook...and helps you learn something rather than spend most of your time wasting by sending useless application requests then head over to an exclusively Indian social network for learning

- breefield, on 11/19/2007, -0/+0The only reason I wouldn't try out some "white label" social networks is that they have a long way to go before people will think their site is aesthetically pleasing. It's kinda like AIM, MSN, and Yahoo, if all your friends chat on AIM, you're gonna get AIM. My solution was to get Adium and use all 3, but with social networking sites it's different in a way. Personally, I'm just going to stick with one so I can be more active on it rather than try and keep tabs on 3 - 4+
- twatwaffle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Is one of the ways to catch people on video saying things they shouldnt and putting it on the web?

teehee - mrhaines, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11 way to build your own social network:
Get up from in front of your computer and go volunteer somewhere or something. - kenashe, on 08/20/2008, -0/+0Area specific people join these networks. I have a freind running a bar crawl network that is a regular stop for a lot of people.
- gilg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Thanks a million for that tip about pligg open source cms/aggregator, canewediggit! you definitely got my green thumb up! I have been looking for a replacement to Digg since yesterday when they said they go for Microsoft ads.

- msaleem, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3A very thorough article from TechCrunch. Refreshing. Good Digg.
- INTERCEPTOR, on 10/10/2007, -10/+4http://pligg.com is the best open source social network software around.. I guess the techcrunch editors do little or no research before writing their articles.
