Abstract
The development of a social network platform requires laborious effort not only in the implementation process but also during the deployment and maintenance phase. In previous chapter all the implementation considerations were presented ranging from infrastructure options to privacy and security issues. In the most available social networking development platforms a number of the aforementioned considerations may have been already addressed which makes them an alternative possibility especially in cases that people who are not so familiar with programming want to easily setup a social network. In this chapter, currently available social network platforms will be presented with their corresponding advantages and limitations.
