If you plan to start a social networking website you should also think at a budget if you don't have the knowledge, skills and time to develop one. For making your dream alive you can: - build a script (recommended but expensive solution) using a good programming team - use a solution available on market : . phpfox at http://www.phpfox.com - price 300 $ . Handshakes at http://www.dzoic.com - price: 349 $ . E-Friends at http://www.phpfox.com - price: 280 $ . Buddy Zone at http://www.vastal.com - price: 280 $ . AROUNDMe at http://www.barnraiser.org - price FREE . PHPizabi at ww2.phpizabi.net - price FREE there are more and I cannot recommend one because I haven't used them yet, a deeper research is needed in order to choose one. then you will need a hosting server and a web designer to install the script and redesign (to obtain a branded version for your scripts) To keep the costs low you can go to a freelance website where you'll find a lot of programmers ready to work for you (elance.com, freelancers.com, getafreelancer.com...). I have to warn you that not all the freelancers are good and dedicated to their work. Also you can give me an e-mail and I can help ;) victor[at]everis.ro<br><b>References : </b><br> Hi.

there are more and I cannot recommend one because I haven’t used them yet, a deeper research is needed in order to choose one.

If you want to provide extra features, the ability to create flash/java applets and some knowledge of graphic design would also be very helpful. However, if you want to get it off the ground, the most important thing for such a site is not its construction - you can get many awesome looking but dead examples of this by flicking through Google - but the availability of a good network of contacts to get it off to a good start.<br><b>References : </b><br> Some knowledge of a scripting language is essential (ASP/PHP and an SQL database would be standard fare), and a dedicated server would be needed for a really popular one.
