hi

I haven't worked with Joomla! except for a couple small test sites but 
today I came across this called BuddyPress that is a social network 
built on Wordpress.
This is what it says on the website:
"Social networking in a box. Build a social network for your company, 
school, sports team or niche community all based on the power and 
flexibility of WordPress."
