If you’re thinking of rolling out a Social Network project, try Elgg. You can launch your own Social Network without writing a line of code.

Elgg is a open source social network platform built on PHP. The best about Elgg is the ability to extend the base platform’s functionality by downloading or writing your own plugins. Some of the plugins currently available include – a blog engine, social bookmarks, message boards, OpenID signup and login, and more.
