i've used socialengine (http://socialengine.net/) for a project about
a year ago - the code costs about $120 and has alot of features that
will get your social network up and running. i was using v1.4 and
upgraded to v1.7 - i believe the latest version is 2.0. the code is
written very well and uses Smarty as a templating engine, also the 2.0
uses OO - previous versions were procedural. there are lots of plugins
for socialengine for blogs, albums and what have you. If you are after
a whole lot of features you should also consider using Joomla as it
has a huge community of developers with a tonne of features you can
install with minimal development time.
