To build a social network. would you use off the shelves (like joomla) or build from scratch?
- dottertrotter 19y agoBuild your own. The thing to keep in mind with social networking is that it should not be the only draw of your website, but should be an added feature that makes the draw of your website more interactive. Also, I just completed a site that includes social networking, and it was so much easier to integrate with the focus of the website, because I built it from scratch.
- enrique550 19y agobuild from scratch. There are too many headaches with open source software...people making buggy modules that you have to wait for them to fix, finding hacks or ways around you getting things done add up to slow, clumsy websites :(
- Jd 19y agoI've worked with Joomla's social networking features in the past. Avoid.
