    There are only just a few good social networking scripts around.
    Actually 3 well known and solid, they exist for many years already and have good support too and private forums.

    phpFox - http://www.phpfox.com (the best of the 3 if you get the COMMUNITY version with all features)

    Social Engine - http://www.socialengine.net

    Jomsocial - http://www.jomsocial.com (this is a Joomla component, Joomla itself is free)

    Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest or StumbleUpon. You can utilize as many as you can effectively with the social media management tools.

    Tried this and it's looking good so far. I hope this doesn't like Social Engine when there are under 100 users.
