If you are thinking of moving out of blog or don’t like to write just paragraphs as a blog post or you want to do something new like building your own social network but you are no programmer to do coding on your own to make such site. Here is something which allows you to take full advantage of the power of social technology with elegant, flexible solutions for organisations, groups and individuals.

Elgg is an open, flexible social networking engine, designed to run at the heart of any socially-aware application. Building on Elgg is easy, and because the engine handles common web application and social functionality for you, you can concentrate on developing your idea.

Elgg can help form the basis of a new generation of social networks. But their platform goes beyond just delivering a solution for the next web 2.0 hangout or social site, although that it a popular use for their software. The Enterprise 2.0 movement is also aided by Elgg as companies wanting to build and customize their own intranet-based social networks have begun to adopt the platform as well.

I saw some example sites given on homepage as a demo which are powered by Elgg, the results are simply awesome and if you are thinking of building such social networking or bookmarking site, its a great option.
