I am sure most of you will know facebook. It's no longer a name to explain. Did you know that you can start your own social network like facebook without stress and without needing to know much about how to do it? Well in this post, I will give you dot down some websites that you can use to start your own social network for real. They all have simplified tools that you can use to build up your social network.
1. Grou.ps Grou.ps is on top of the list because I think that they are the best. They have great tools that you can use to design your social network.
2. Ning.com is another popular platform on which you can create your own social network. It’s acclaimed the world’s largest platform for creating social websites and this might be true. They’ve been around for a very long time. You’re allowed to try out the service for full 30 thirty days after which you’re billed according to your chosen plan. There’s a mini plan that goes for $2.95 per month and the pricing is also flexible. There is also a plan that goes for $59.95 per month and if you really wanna make a very big social network that’s going to need up to 1 terabyte storage, you can contact them for details.3. Spruz.com is what I use. They are also a good but not like the first two above. They have their free plan and the paid for plan.
4. Self Hosted Scripts
Of course, you must know about web hosting to use this. Using a self hosted social networking site has lots of advantages as you can customize it to your taste and there are tons of plugins to choose from, depending on the type of script you use.
Example of a self hosted social network is Varpal.com, another fast growing Nigerian social network with great features. Just like facebook, you can use live chat, upload photos, even create blogs and interactive apps. You can use either of these scripts:
- SocialEngine
- phpFox
- mooSocial
5. Mixxt.com This is a free platform. They also have their paid for plans. Their features include: Blogs videos, forums, images, groups, wiki, events, files, content management, news.
