social networking

Buongiorno,

sto realizzando un sito di community e social networking. Ci sto lavorando da alcune settimane e sto per rilasciare online una prima versione.

i'm working on social networking site and currently trying to figure out a way to create something similar to facebook's "interests" section. (ex. i type in a comma separated list of my interests and they show up in my profile as links to a search query of ppl with that interest.)

it seems that "tagging" oneself with interests can automatically provide links to the taxonomy term corresponding to the interest, and there are lot of taxonomy modules to provide addt'l functionality...but i have a few questions:

Hi,

After 7541 lines between code, comments and documentation by Tony Mobily and Marius Ooms, after an attempt bit-murder, after heated discussions with the "guys and ladies who count", after the typical last minute major rewrite suggested (to me: ordered) by the person that makes D7 possible... after all this:

FriendList is finally ready.

There is no official release, but only because I really want to get it perfect. Areas of interest:

• Documentation. We rewrite a bug chunk the very last minute... is the documentation 100000% current? (especially the developers' doc)

Hi,

I need to create a social networking site with Drupal 6 (yay). As a social networking site, there is obviously a need for an "Activity log" of some sort. The Activity module had its last commit abut 4 months ago -- and judging from the issue queue, that's not because it's immaculate.

Then, I read this message:

http://drupal.org/node/249927

I am not sure what "Content log messages" are. However, I was thinking: would a module that exports just:

1) A database structure
2) Rules integration to "add" a record and that's it

I am building a social networking site for a particular sport. I'm using Drupal 6. I've read lots of documentation, a few books and have become quite dangerous. I'm hoping to find someone who would be able to sit down for a couple of 2-3 hr sessions to review what has been done and provide a few pointers. And correct my misunderstanding of how Drupal works. Need some particular help in the Organic Groups area to ensure this is being setup as expected and to understand the features I'm missing.

After about 4 months of development, we've launched http://www.betternetworker.com!

BetterNetworker is an online community for the network and internet marketing industry.

The original site was built on Joomla 1.0.13, along with community builder. The new community is now on Drupal 5.x.

Part of this build out involved converting all membership data, including friends, photo galleries, forum posts (from FireBoard), all content (6,000+ articles and videos), comments, statistical data, for over 16,000 users.

Since our site launch, we've gained over 1,000 members in a week.

Hi,

I've just launched a new Drupal social network (http://drupalsn.com) and i'm now actively promoting the site, but i'm hoping to spark some debate as to how everyone out there promotes their social networking sites so we can share ideas and strategies and see which ones work best!

My personal view is social networks can be hard to promote, because you obviosuly want to drive traffic to your site but you also want sign ups. Does traffic automatically mean sign ups or do you need a more specific strategy?

www.babelup.com

BabelUp is a social network for social activism. That is, it's a fun community to hang out in with friends and discuss global issues. BabelUp hosts forums, user blogs, image galleries, real-time chatting, groups, calendars, and lots of other features you'd expect to find in a well-designed (hopefully) social network.

What is the best approach? I am not a tech savvy person.
