New comment by EGreg in "Facebook is launching a dating feature"

While I applaud Facebook finally focusing on facilitating real world interactions, I am concerned with them getting more central control over people’s lives.

Why hasn’t anyone else built an open source competitor to Facebook, like Wordpress for social networks?

I started a company 7 years ago and put a lot of effort to build such a platform. Now we recently launched 1.0 . I really thought someone would beat us to it. But somehow we are the first complete platform to market?

Now we plan to make it easier to install, build a community, build a social activity browser, and build out apps for communities.

Feedback welcome:
