What software would you use to build a niche social network? - GoFuckYourself.com

If you were going to build a mainstream social network, like say a networking site to find friends near me to go out to lunch with or go bird watching with (humor me), what software would you use?

I was looking at PhpFox but saw the mobile version isn't that great and they offer little support.

How would you set it up?

Thanks, thats actually the nicest one I've seen. Do you know how they are abut support and development? I'll need serious customization and dont want to choose a company who is hard to reach. thanks

No I don't. I played around with it years ago but never dealt with support or development. They've been around for a lot of years though and it looks pretty popular so I'm sure you can find developers.

I wouldn't waste my time, my finances, or one ounce of effort making a social network.
