Free Social Networking Software

In the last years there has grown a huge need of socialization among people of all ages. However, they do not crave for socialization when they are in society, but they seek for it when they go online. People have created their own network of virtual friends; they may never know them for real. In spite of that they keep talking to strangers and sometimes they become friends of friends. This is how a social network is born. On the Internet there are not only socializing pages, but also software programs you can download.

One of these programs is Mahara. What is special about this software is the fact that it has an educational part as well. You can create your portfolio and offer others the possibility to admire and learn. If you are interested you can check who has viewed your profile due to an option, incorporated in this software. Moreover, those who post artifacts can receive feedback, either on public through commentaries or in private, by sending messages.

This program has also developed a platform of blogging where users can interact and comment the posts, the photos or create drafts for later posts. What is really important is the fact that users can create CV-s, which can be seen even by those who are not logged on this platform. In addition a user is able to create a community of friends with whom he could share personal information, but it is not an obligation to be member of the Mahara social networking system to be friend with someone who has an account. Another program available for free is LOVDby Less. This social network software allows users to create an account similar to the Facebook one. Upload pictures, post music or write your thought. Create a network of friends and comment to their pictures or posts. If you do not know someone, go ahead and search for people using the browser provided by the program. In case you are having a blog, go ahead and link it to your profile. Atypical software is AroundMe. We call it atypical because you are not logging on a social network, but you are in administrator’s shoes. You are creating a collaboration server and other users have to come and create their site. This is not easy as you have to take care and customize the platform and moderate the dialogue between members. You are also the one who have to decide whether your group is public or private. Besides, every member has access to a guestbook, a blog, a forum to interact with a large number of members.

Finally, if you like the administrator role playing, then go ahead and download SocialEngine. The best part of using it is the fact that you create your own social network, an original one. It is up to you what concept you want to develop. Similarly, it is a product self-hosted, you own your own server. The only duty you have it is to attract as many members as you can.
