Honestly Jeff... I could rebuild this portal in Coldfusion in about 2 weeks using Coldfusion solo and it would be even better :P However I haven't seen the admin interface so not sure how much functionality lives behind that.

Hey Ben, thats a rather bold statement and one i would love to see achieved. You to weeks start now ;)

I agree that CF would indeed make it a rapid way to develop such an app but lets not underestimate the great work that ning have done here. There is a lot that you can do with this app as you can access the top level code base.

That said I would be keen to develop a social CF App if you want to start one :)

After googling a little bit, I found this site. I have been looking for an open source social networking application. Does anybody know one? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
The open source ColdBricks project was just released, which is a CMS/Portal creation platform written in Coldfusion. From it's homepage: "ColdBricks have been used to create sites like personal start pages, news agregators, social networking communities..."
It looks promising and might be worth looking into for your endeavor:

Hi, Bob
I entered this network less than one hour ago, googling 'coldfusion social network', which brought me your title question!! in second place!!.
I start to search after trying to understand and get examples from ning and ning developers site about how to use their xns database like system. When I almost gave up, I start to search for something like ning (this site), but with cf database capabilities. In the sponsored links there is a $ 500 software, that claims to do the job, but who knows...
After reading repplies, I think more than one is looking for something in this direction: not to reinvent 'la polvora', and only concentrate in the features we want to add to the site.
Now that I found that this CF communitiy is relying over a ning site, I don't know if to be sad (did not see any solution yet -well in this half an hour - or happy, because CF is powerful and something it is going to appear.
Pleased to meet you Bob, and everybody in this thread.

For another example of a social networking site built on CF, check out BiteClub, which was built using Sava, an open source Coldfusion CMS.
