Hi Aaron! I'm new to your site - just happened upon it today. So here's my question to you and anyone else who may see this post:
I'm not a developer and I'm wondering if there are any pre-packaged social netoworking solutions that you can recommend. I'm specifically looking for something very professional looking - think job board with social network feel to it or maybe linkedin'ish. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I've happened upon socialgo and ning. Any feedback on either of them?
Thank you so much, Mary

Hi Mary,
Thanks for stopping by. Your question is a good one, but probably not something I can adequately answer here with more information. It depends a lot upon your audience and objectives.
As far as whitebox solutions, I've used Ning to build a simple social network before and found it very easy both to build and to participate in. Another service I like is Crowdvine (www.crowdvine.com).
If you're looking at building a social network for internal communications, you might look at Yammer (www.yammer.com) or SocialCast (www.socialcast.com).
