Just launched a social networking/self-publishing site for writers, filmmakers, podcasters and their fans:

I was(am) working on a drupal based site http://iputech.com Its a student network site where we the college students can share knoweldge, resources, find likely minded people for our projects. This is social networking among college students.

However in my failed attempt to make the university understand the meaning and importance of "social networking" all my hope to get support from them for the site seems diminished.

I am still a kid and can't really manupilate people(specially old people with their own firm believes and unchangable nature)

I'm building a social network, and I'm wondering how best to minimize the amount of effort I need to put into moderation, while keeping the site from being taken over by trolls and spammers. I'm looking at "troll", "ignore user", and Mollom. I'd love to hear what combinations have proven successful, and any other techniques you'd recommend. I'm planning to start with an invitation-only beta, where people pass invitations on to their friends, and hopefully that will lead to a good core group of legitimate users.

Thanks for any insight,

Maintainers of activity type modules, or other interested parties,

If you had to rewrite your module from the ground up, or architect the ultimate end-all be-all module for recording and displaying user activity on your site, how would you go about it now, knowing what you know?

From maintaining the Activity module, I think I've come up with some basic needs for this kind of feature, so let's discuss how to best go about implementing the functionality of the ultimate solution.

Basic needs:

I think pretty much anyone looking for this sort of feature for their site comes from knowing how it is implemented on facebook and are looking for something very similar. If that is the case, there are a few main things that we're looking for it to do, how it should look and act from a user's standpoint. But what are your expectations?

Functionally:

I am seeking a designer/ developer/ collaborator for a social networking site concept.

The project would be in two phases.
1) Architecture/site design to run beta testing for a couple of hundred users.
2) Scalability to RULE THE INTERNET....Ahem, I mean, to go public. I put "contract" & "full time" in the listing because their would be a potential partnership for the right person/people.

We are an existing social networking site, in need to move over to Drupal 6.x.

We have a list of features we would like for the site, to be released in different phases. Some guidelines:

1) Existing modules that implement these features are welcome, no need to write new code.
2) The features listed aren't necessarily partitioned as modules, meaning if it makes sense to separate functionality across two or more modules (or vice versa, combining them into one), then that's fine.

Hi all,

I was just curious if anyone knew of a tutorial (video or otherwise) that described what all went into the creation of the Groups.Drupal site. Obvioulsy it utilizes all the social networking pieces that so many sites are after (my own inclulded).

Has anything been put together to document how this site was actually created? Drupal version, modules, etc. I'm primarily interested in Organic Groups, and all the related social aspects (flagging friends, etc.).

Thanks!
Steve
