Lovd by Less (http://lovdbyless.com/) is an option as well.
Very useful!
(Commenting again...)
Webjam.com is as well as Ning.comand better then socialgo or wackwall.
Thanks.
you might want to mention which ones are hosted by the company, and which ones allow you to download the software and host it yourself. As far as I know Ning is hosted by the company, whereas Elgg you download and run on your own server (LAMP stack). I don't know about the other two though.
Nice list for me! Thanks you very much

Nice to know about this tools. I actually developed my own social network of cinema (100% developed by me thow). When i started there wasn't tools like this, or maybe i just didn't knew about them.

Very interesting, but I need more information, I need reviews/user opinions. Put simply, which is best? Which provide more easy yet effective customization? In other words, which can give me my own myspace?
Ning is the best... I evaluated everyone for one of my serious project... and this is the result, my clear opinion.
Hey,
SocialGO is by far the best one! Y'all should check it out...
Great tools, could think about this..to create in my own country..however I know copies are not very effective..:) Thanks!
goooooooood
Great List, may I also recommend
http://briansblog.co.cc/wheretolog/
for a great list of places to Vlog and Blog etc.
Ning is by far the best. Check out my Ford Mustang Community...

Its built on the Ning platform. I have 2 other sites built on the Ning platform. Ning is easy to use,has many features,and is free. Wackwall is cheap and seems to be flooded with Pornography. I've tried many,but haven't found one yet that's as good as Ning.
yes you are right, ning is the best but you are not fully in control of the of your site, like for example the Advertisement is publish by NING.
If I have social networking website, I want to be fully in control the site.
Great post!!
Which one is the best for "join this event" counter kind of thing?
frank!
nice list thanks
Thanks 4 that man..u far 2 kind..

I think Ning probably has the most exposure. Thanks for the reminder man. Rock on!
