PeopleAggregator - An Open Source Social Network

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the eye-keeeees-you dept.

prostoalex writes "When Orkut, LinkedIn, Friendster, Zaibatsu and Tribe.net just don't cut it, meet PeopleAggregator, an open-source, PHP-written, FOAF-based social network. There's the site and there's the source in case you decide to launch your own. I found out about PeopleAggregator reading this interview with Mark Canter on Read/Write Web today." I wish such sites would provide profile-conversion tools to encourage jumping ship from one to another.

  1. Turn off the computer!!!!! by b12arr0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Damn! How hard is it to go meet your neighbors or even leave your room/apartment/house? Is it really that bad? I admit to being a geek and having a love for all things technological but I really don't understand all this whole social networking mumbo jumbo. Makes no sense to me. I like talking to people face to face as much as screen to screen.

  2. PHP app... and it scales so well by Offwhite98 · · Score: 0, Troll

    It is currently offline. I wonder if PHP can actually handle high load.

    I do not mean to troll, but I really dislike PHP. I find mod_perl and Java Servlets are such a better option for high traffic sites.
