Elgg is a social networking framework. It provides the necessary functionality to allow you to run your own social networking site, whether publicly (like Facebook) or internally on a networked intranet (like Microsoft Sharepoint).
To run Elgg, you need to have your own web server and a certain amount of technical knowledge – or access to someone who does, like a system administrator.
Elgg comes with advanced user management and administration, social networking, cross-site tagging, powerful access control lists, internationalisation support, multiple view support (eg cell phones, iPhone), an advanced templating engine, a widget framework and more. A full list is available here Features.
If you need more functionality than what Elgg offers out-of-the-box there are a couple of options:
- Add more by installing plugins – for example, blogs, forums, social bookmarks
- Develop your own features, or hire someone to do this for you
