I’ve noticed more and more visitors come here looking for Social Networking content, themes, plugins and directories.
To help you out I’ve opened three new sections in my free link directory, Ning, Elgg and BuddyPress. So if you have a site powered by any of those platforms, feel free to add it to my directory.

I recently made a post about the new Elgg theme Orkut, which I’m using in my new blogging network, but shortly after I discovered CosmicBuddy, the BuddyPress theme. Now CosmicBuddy provides everything that Elgg already had, which made me use Elgg in the first place.
The question is, start over with BuddyPress and the new theme, or stick with Elgg, and a much easier to use Admin interface?
If you think you can help me solve this question please drop me a comment.

The theme is inspired by Orkut and looks amazing. I’m in no way happy about this, because now I’m struggling with my earlier decision to go with Elgg instead of BuddyPress on my new project.

Elgg is very easy to install and comes preloaded with a set of plugins such as :
1. Blogs (Users can open and run their own blogs)
2. Microblogging (Such as Twitter and Facebook status updates.)
3. Messageboard (Such as on Blogcatalog profile area)
4. Gallery
5. Groups ( Users can start groups)
6. Media Sharing (Users can upload images, videos and files)
If you’re not happy with the preloaded plugins you can download or request more plugins in the plugin community. You can also download and install new themes from the theme repository. You can do all this by simply uploading new plugins or themes to one folder and activating them.
If you would like to see Elgg in action visit this DEMO.
