I am completly new to WordPress. I have a requirment where I need to develop a site where people will form communities and will blog around. They will make friends and send friend request. So its much a combination of social Networking Stuff combined with Blogging Stuff. Can somebody suggest that if I should go for WordPress or look for some other option like. ELGG.
Can I develop a social networking Site using WordPress and its Plugins?
Take a look at the http://buddypress.org/ plugin
You can try Mingle. I haven’t used it, but it looks pretty cool and very simple. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle/
