What language are the social networks and other sites like this are written in ?

Right. So, I know nothing about website programming, other than html. I was just wondering: all those social network sites and places like this, where you can start groups, add friends and all, what language is this, most of the time, php, dhtml, something else ??





Thanks.

What language are the social networks and other sites like this are written in ?
Facebook is written in PHP. You can tell because the page extentions end in "php".


Myspace is written in ColdFusion. It's page extensions end in "cfm".





However, as the previous poster noted there could be a dozen other technologies involved. However the page extensions are a pretty good indication of at least one of these technologies. Other common page types are ASP, ASPX (also known as ASP.Net) and pl for Perl.





Some websites such as yahoo and okcupid mask the typical flags that can help you determine what language they're written in but I'm sure a little research on Google could probably help you out with that.





If you're asking because you'd like to learn a little bit about how these sites function I'd suggest learning PHP or ASP.Net. I would highly advise that you avoid ColdFusion.
Reply:They are mostly written with php + htaccess + mysql + ruby.


The majority are hosted on servers with Apache, and generally make use of db caching, and cluster servers to manage load.
Reply:since most of them are quite big, and have to scale well, i'm pretty sure they're NOT written in PHP, Perl or ASP. I guess most of them are written in Java or in a combination of several languages. I once heard that Amazon is not a single application but a combination of hundreds of services; each service can be written in a different language. it's up to the developers which language they use.
Reply:They all use server side languages, like PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, etc.

Cost of creating a social networking site?

How much would it cost to create a social networking site? (I mean if you paid someone to do it)

Not much... but there are so many free choices why not do it yourself? See GraffitiCMS, blognet and others.

What's the best social networking site?

What do you think is the best social networking site you've been to? I like Perfspot although the population are not as astounding as myspace. Friendster is a filipino country, while myspace is like an american territory. Facebook has the most number of elite members in the society?

What's the best social networking site?
Facebook it the best by far. It is secure and easy to find people you know. It is also one of the biggest social networks with people all around the word and nearly every college
Reply:Years ago, I had xanga but it got boring (who wants to write about their day). I thought I would never join a networking site again until....





Two months Ago I joined facebook and was able to reconnect with friends I thought I lose contact with. It has really fun apps you can do with your friends.





It's also very safe and secure which are the bonus.





You also get to join networks so its easy to communicate

I need a new social networking site?

Myspace is completely overrun by idiotic "scene" kids who just want to whore their pictures and kids under the age of 15 who just want to be cool.


Facebook is quickly following suit it seems. I just found out today that it was opened up to everybody! And the applications are driving me crazy!


I like being able to keep in touch with my friends and listen to new music and share my pictures and stuff, but is there a different social networking site that I can use without having to deal with young kids and emo ****?

What is the best social networking site?
MySpace, Bebo and Facebook being the most widely used in the anglosphere (North America, England, and so on), Google’s Orkut, third-string in the U.S. but dominant in countries like Brazil and India, and Friendster being the most widely used in Asia. Facebook might be the most immensely popular social networking service today.





How is their performance? Recent research show that Facebook has the bad performance.

Who will be willing to give my new social networking site a chance?

I am 20yrs old and a entrepreneur. I am in the process of launching my very own new innovative social networking website! This isn't spam or anything, I am a real person.





I have grown tired of the limited possibilities on Facebook, and Myspace and have decided to create a site to share with the world.





The name of the site is howyoulivingonline.com and it will serve as your home on the internet! Howyoulivingonline is a social networking site that interconects the world while taking you on the ride of your life. I am all about giving users an experience and not a whole bunch of features that don't really serve a purpose.





Howyoulivingonline.com is innovation at its best.


I know some people believe that Facebook is the best, and can't be topped, but nothing last forever. Afterall. aren't you guys and gals tired of having your privacy invaded by Facebook and being spammed by Myspace?





Look out, howyoulivingonline.com coming soon to a web bowser near you!!!1

Who will be willing to give my new social networking site a chance?
repeat these to yourself outloud:


i facebooked her man!


i howyoulivingonlined her man!





I was on facebook last night


I was on how you living online last night





i have all my friends on facebook


i have no friends on howyoulivingonline because... nobody else even knows it exists!!





the last part kinda is the biggie - you need a lot of press about new social network sites because everyone's already established. After all, myyearbook, yuwie, xanga, facebook, myspace, and so many more exist - why would people sign up for a new one unless its 100% innovative and their friends are already on it?
Reply:Dont even try to compete with facebook.
Reply:i think a different name might help, i don't really like the one you have. it doens't roll of the tongue like facebook.

Myspace, facebook or other social networking site laws?

Name all the laws or causes of action you can think of that relate or could relate to a person's participation on a social networking site. For instace, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, identity theft, etc. Have fun! Let's see how many we can name, and if you know of a specific story and a website to verify it, I'd love to see that too....

Myspace, facebook or other social networking site laws?
Defamation and related torts are the obvious ones. Identity theft is unlikely.

I was on IgoUgo for a while, but then I noticed that whenever I wanted to travel anywhere I couldn't find any useful information on my destination aside from hotel advertisements or simple descriptions that really aren't useful at all. So I stopped going there and don't recommend it.





I don't really know about the other ones, sorry.

How do I start my own social networking site at lowest cost possible?

I know basic html, is it enough to build my own social networking site?





where can I find information on skills required to build my own social networking site

How do I start my own social networking site at lowest cost possible?
Basic HTML will not be enough.





You will need to know other technologies as well, particularly the server-side stuff. On top of that you're going to need to be good with databases - and being _good_ with databases is a whole lot different from say, "knowing a bit of Access"...





I'd say as a bare minimum you'd need to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL - and that's as the _minimum_.





For information on these languages, simply search the net for FAQs and tutorials.





Rawlyn.
Reply:It would be difficult. A better thing might be to start a "Social Bookmarking Guide" site. This would be a great idea for a site since social bookmarking is so popular. With that you can use Site Build It. It's the easiest way to build a successful site.

What's the best social networking site?

I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon and getting ready to join a social networking site. Between Facebook, Myspace, and everything else, it's hard to choose.





What do you think is the best site? I a place that's fun and entertaining. Plus, I want to try to get my friends to join me and connect, so I'm looking for one that might appeal to a bit group of people.

What's the best social networking site?
Well a lot of it depends on what your personal preferences are; MySpace.com allows a lot more customisation on their pages (such as using HTML and CSS) as well as adding music to backgrounds, wallpaper, etc...


It is exactly this reason why MySpace has been often criticised. Also, I've seen a lot more so-called "hacks" for MySpace then for Facebook, because MySpace has very large networks, as opposed to Facebook's multiple networks.


Facebook is simple; it doesn't allow any customisation. That way more adults prefer Facebook due to its simplicity rather than a "noisy and eyesore" MySpace. Facebook also has application one can use, although a profile page with too many clutter apps can be frowned upon.


It all comes to a matter of what you prefer. There are other sites (Xanga, Bebo, etc...) too.





Personally, I prefer Facebook, but I don't have anything against MySpace either.





Hope that helps somewhat.
