posted message: The guy's website (I think his name is Adam) I pointed you to is pretty good imo once you get past his locker room humor. I flew through his tutorials and am now confident in building a social network. Sure I may not know all the bells and whistles yet like groups and news feeds and what not, but I do know how to create a basic social network with profiles, a twitter like feed, private messaging, photo albums, forums, member search, google map integration and a whole bunch of other stuff thanks to that dude. I really do hope Kalob comes back and finish what he started. I hate leaving stuff half finished, although with what I learned, I could probably finish a good portion of this tutorial on my own. I just want different perspectives.

posted message: Thanks for posting that Jbplaya, it certainly looks interesting and I'll take a look into it. As for this, I'm not really sure what's happened. I assume Kalob has just run into some personal issues and hasn't had time to see to this. I would guess that he'll return (eventually), but perhaps it's a good idea to venture off onto other projects in the meantime as it'll help gain experience in programming in general, and will make this easier should it ever continue.
posted message: Since it looks like this project is all but abandoned, I've been learning how to put together a social network at this guy's site: http://www.developphp.com/list_php_video.php
Imo, the tutorials are pretty good as he goes pretty in depth about explaining the concepts used to create applications in php. He doesn't just show you how to do a social network, but also php image manipulation, E-Commerce, constructing a CMS, and a crap load of tutorials on Flash and Javascript.
It's not a facebook clone, but with it, you can probably construct your own when all is said and done. He's also pretty funny too.
