Are their any good 'off the shelf' social networking website backends you can buy or get for free that you can add to to build your own social network site?

Thank you please.

Personally I think if there was a kind of "PetBook" social site where people setup pages for their pets and get in touch with other dog owners etc I think it'd make someone a very very rich person

I'm serious, you know how nuts people are about their pets these days

I always thought a cross between Facebook and Adult Friend Finder would be a good idea, could call in SpunkFace.com

Big waste of time imo, won't beat Facebook/Myspace especially with the money/backing they have.

(Thats if your planning on starting one)

I know someone who started up a pet one, it was crap and didn't last very long. Don't think its even online anymore
