| I've used elgg in the past ... nice enough ... None are going to be extremely easy to customise I believe .... or else they'd probably be commercial

| Installed PHPizabi locally yesterday evening and its relativelystraight forward to customise in terms of style. However the features / functions will take some work customising. Its for a very specific theme, so Ill need to remove any dating like references / functions. Installing elgg now to see what it can do. |

| Elgg was developed with the educational industry in mind, but can be customized for any use. Many universities throughout the world have adapted the social software to fit their needs. |

| I have a demo of elgg on NevF if anyone wants to have a go, just create an account for yourself and then when you want to try out as admin, just send me a message on it (nevf is username also) and I will make you admins galore! |

| Second that - Elgg etc are fine, but if you want to extend them beyond their current functionality, you'll be left at a bit of a dead end. |

| Drupal can do social networking, although it seems to be a steep enough learning curve but leaves you open to do anything else with the site as well. |
