Facebook-like website.

i was wondering is there any tools i can use to create a website that works like facebook?

 

If i understand the context in which you ask, you won't find what you have in mind. But perhaps you could look up "Ning" and that just might work for you..

 

Ive never been to face book but i hear its similar to myspace in the fact its a social place people meet share stuff like pics and what not. If thats what your looking for try http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/ its free and has all the features you could ever want.

 

not quite similar to myspace it is in competition with myspace, however.

i do know of a site thats similar, but dont know if there is any script out there

www.hatebook.org

 

How about this?

Quite pricey though.

 

If you are looking to set up a social networking website, ie facebook, there is no tool that will create one for you, you would need a script, phpfox is suppose to be quite good, then you need a site designed.

 

Personally, there are too many big compeititors out there to even get big.

 

Well, you can try but you will not have alot of members like facebook,myspace etc...

 

PHPizabi looks like a pretty good base for doing your own custom social network.

 

phpfox has to many bugs, burn to much bandwitch
agriya.com has a good face book clone back by good people

beside the facebook clone u will need marketing money lots of it, i would say a min of 200000

 

I don't think there is a minimum marketing budget with any site, it all depends on how it grows. Social networking sites practically market themelves through their members.

 

i can prepare full clone from facebook for $8000

 

dolphin looks good, but i wonder if it's safe to use.

 

Before looking up for a script like that get a big fat fast ass server

 

I already have one (and domain too, now i'm only looking for a script)

 

Well good luck then let us know when it will be up !

 

I will thanks!

 

Has anyone here ever used that dolphin script? Or know of any sites that have used it?

 

Well. see exact clone better then studivz and scripts point
at http://www.influxive.com/isociety

you can contact them at helpdesk at influxive.com

these people actually cloned facebook , they are real crazy as i think

 

Wow, that is a total ripoff. They even left the word "Facebook" on some parts of the site! ("Sign up now to take advantage of all Facebook has to offer." for example)
