I want to make external voting api for a drupal 7 based site to allow external voting on nodes like Digg and other social networks. I want to know your ideas about modules that enable it. I searched a lot through all guides about making drupal as a social network but i couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone know a module or a simple way to do that?

Hi Everyone,

I haven't fully decided if drupal is the way to go but was hoping people out there could give me advice.

I run a social networking site for professionals. It has been bult on social engine (yuk!). As you can imagine the code and script is extremely slow.

I need to know if Drupal 7 has the following capabilities.

Need to have these all in one site.

member/company profiles
chat/video system
blogs
video/album posting (lightbox?)
Events
Groups
Job board
Classifieds

is anyone working to integrate diaspora with drupal? it seems that at minimum, hooks could be made to connect a drupal user base with a locally-running diaspora pod. this would allow a drupal user the option to have their account "enabled" as a diaspora user too. from there, more could be built, including sharing activities (posts, comments, etc) via the diaspora pod to the greater diaspora network.

There are a lot of social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, MySpace, Friendster etc. to name a few, along with other sharing, book marking and blogging sites like YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, (video and photo sharing) Delicious, Digg, Stumble Upon etc.(social book marking) , WordPress, Blogger etc. (blogging). In short, it will be too hard a person with a Facebook, Twitter, Delicious and Blogger account to update his status, tweet and blog simultaneously in any case. This is where this module comes to aid...

I think that it would be nice to have a list of the most useful modules for social networking sites. groups.drupal.org/social-networking-sites has a very short list of useful modules on its home page. I think it would be a great idea to expand the list.

Apart from the most widely used modules like Views, CCK , Ctools etc... What are the modules which are specific to social-networking sites that enhance the sites' usability as well as feel....??

I would urge everyone contributing or even those just tracking this Drupal Group to visit this site, watch the film and reflect on whether there is something here that the our Transition Drupal project can contribute to in some way: http://coalitionofthewilling.org.uk

I'm not sure but the third section proposes a three-pronged website strategy involving a social network spanning local, regional, national and global levels to connect climate change solutions to those in need. I know it's not precisely what we're doing but is there something here worth exploring?
