there was something called "AroundMe" which was at first the usual walled-garden social network software. But then they changed their philosophy to make it like what Disapora is now. I guess it started sometime in 2005. I edited the older version of their software to setup my own social network. http://www.barnraiser.org/aroundme http://www.barnraiser.org/aroundme Runs on php and mysql. I did checkout AppleSeed longtime back version 0.2 or 0.3 (on savannah i guess). Clean code. Barnraiser's AroundMe has plugin functionality built in. It's not the facebook-type third-party app API. So don't get me wrong.
