I’ve been testing ELGG, the open source social networking software, for a week or so now. Overall, I’m pretty pleased. Its short comings fall in the speed department. Simple calls seem to take longer than they should. That, I’m sure, could be sorted out by a caching module of some sort.

Check out my test run if you want. It isn’t anything fancy yet, but I am intrigued by the flexibility of ELGG. It isn’t quite as flexible as Wordpress, but it does a lot out of the box.
