Elgg is the open source social network management system. So what tools did you come to depend on in 2008? This is an awesome cross-platform mind mapping tool. I use it to create sitemaps, mostly, but it’s also great for brainstorming. Install it on your own server, control your own data. Don’t use Ning, use Elgg.

Social networks have gone mobile. As of February 2013, 55% of social networking occurs on a mobile device especially during commutes, lunch breaks, and evening hours.
