I would recommend that ICEcore be evaluated for inclusion in this list. ICEcore is the open source equivalent of Novell's Teaming + Conferencing and has some really cool collaboration and social networking features. Each user has access to their own set of knowledge tools (blog, wiki, discussion forums, file folders, etc). Plus, users have the ability to create teams that have access to a similar tool set and invite others to join and collaborate. All these features are also indexed and searchable from one index (even attached files) which makes finding things a snap. The next version of ICEcore (now in early Alpha and available from SourceForge) comes with Twitter like features so that users can track one another and share content with other ICEcore users. Again, thanks for a great list and continue the good work. Great list of new and upcoming software. I would recommend that ICEcore be evaluated for inclusion in this list.

Yes, there exist modules for drupal and joomla has the community builder component, but I've tried my hand at both -- and customizing these modules / components to my needs resulted in some real ugly code. In other words, building a social networking site using these modules - components is not a very easy - straightforward task. That's why I chose to leave them out of this list. But yes, Drupal - Joomla - either of them can be used as well. @rajesh,
