Interesting, excellent review. Not too interested but I will check it out.

Looks like an interesting white-label social network solution!
We're not interested in using Ning because it cannot be hooked up to our database.
KickApps offers such a solution, but their layout isn't elegant.
On first look, SocialGo looks quite nice. Hopefully their upcoming API is solid and easily integratable.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions besides SocialGo and KickApps in terms of database integration?

Hey Ray -- Michael from KickApps here. The idea behind our layout is that they're entirely customizable to fit your needs. Think of it as a canvas with some basic structure to it. All it takes is HTML, CSS and/or JavaScript. Just design, not even development. - Michael

Where is their API?

moli.com offers a white label solution. Is scaleable and great for small to medium enterprises

I saw the implmentation this with the Ron Paul Network... it just seemed like I was signing up for Moli except I had extra profile with a Ron Paul banner above it.
Which I don't mind much, cause Moli has a pretty cool interface, but I wouldn't call it a white label solution.
Unless someone wants to show me a more isolated example.

As if we need another social network nowadays. Between Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace I figured all of the ground was covered.
Not sure about an API offering just yet. Let's let SocialGO have a public launch first! ;)

Looks too much like ning

If ning is cool (and it is!) then what's wrong with looking like it? I think the competition will be great for network creators.

Hi Guys,
I'm part of the team here at SocialGO. Firstly thanks for taking the time to check out the site and for all your comments.
Thanks to Kirsten for her comments which we will take on board (that's the purpose of BETA after all!).
With regards to the API, we are currently working on V1 which will open up user account control to allow developers to build bridges between existing membership databases and their SocialGO network. API V2 will follow shortly with further access.
We think we have built a unique service that differs from what other people have to offer and that gap is only going to grow as the service matures. We have an aggressive product roadmap and over the coming months hope to convert all the skeptics out there! :)
I'm always available if anybody has any questions or suggestions on alex@socialgo.com.
Cheers Alex Halliday SocialGO Founder

Hi Alex,

@Ray -- have a look at Crowd Factory. It is purely an API, and completely headless so it snaps directly into your db - it's built to infuse the social elements at whatever layer is appropriate for your stack, rather than using templates.

Hi,
Very Good article, i hope someone can help me.
I'm soon to be setting up a really serious social network and i'm looking for the BEST white label option out there.
My main needs are for;
- users to be able to post events and have them categorized by music genre. - good news module - interviews module (duplicate of news really) - videos & photos module - i'm also going to have charts and reviews - forums - everything can be commented on by signed up users and rated - i'm not bothered about the users customizing there profile page - and a good option for customizing the site as i've got designers ready to go. but i haven't really got great programmers so the easier it is to setup the better.
I wonder if people can advise me in which white label network i should go for or look at.
Every article i read people are saying different things and there are new options to consider like Social GO.
I've been looking at Ning & Kick Apps plus reading about allsorts of others.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks, Matt

Hi
I'm looking to integrate a social network feature into quite a few of my websites during the Winter and initially I only really looked at ning, but am now interested in Socialgo
Although ning as it is well-established, the recent problems with widgetlaboratory has made me a little concerned about how they intend to run their business. Do they really have the concerns of the network operators in mind? Are they likely to remove widgets or other features that are crucial to my network without notice again?
My concerns over ning made me look at socialgo, but I also have concerns about socialgo that need to be answered before taking them up.
My main concern is about socialgo as a going concern. Are they well funded or is there a chance I could put in hundreds of hours of work into building my networks only to see the company run out of cash and me lose all of my work?
Just from what I can see, ning have been around for years and their funding is well-publicized, making them look to be a more solid proposition. Are my worries over socialgo in this respect unfounded?

Just seen the fund-raising and appointment of the new director, Charles Delamain, at Bright Things plc, owner of socialgo
With the cash in the bank, I'm confident the future of socialgo is safe now.
Congratulations guys!

Hey Bill
Thanks! We're very serious guys. Last business we built was Eidos, the video game company. So we're well funded and staffed up with a genius team of dev guys. I ain't knocking any other network creator, but we set ourselves the goal to be the best.
Regards, Dominic CEO Bright Things/SocialGO

The themes have been unpublished, no release is visible in the project pages, and the tarball archives have been deleted.
The files in CVS still need to be deleted. Is there a quick way to delete all those files?
