An All-In-One Social Network Source

[nwatkin03]

I think just about everyone is trying to build social networks these days, and there's a demand for social network applications that they dont neccessarily teach in average web development books. Can anyone point me to a good resource (books, tutorials, members...) that can advise on the following subjects?

1. Creating a registration process that automatically creates a template for a new user to build their page on (ex: MySpace)
2. Create a file upload program that allows users to upload files such as pictures or videos from their computer (ex: YouTube)

I personally think a book covering strictly social network design would do very well.

That would likely be a portal type application.

Typically custom built for those types of sites but many of the portal apps
and CMS tools would have that option as well.

Social networking is more of a buzzword than anything specific. It's a
community site. It's nothing new. Just a new term. ;o)
