Online Communities?

Hi All,


I want to build my own online community where people can come and create their own websites (with thier content) %26amp; other facilities (e.g. forums, news etc)...


Are there any tools that allow me to do that? or I have to create a new application? How do myspace, (and earlier geocities, angelfire) allow you to do so?


Thanks for the help!

Reply:First, you start your own website aka "myspace.com" then you add the feature for people to create their own account (using PHP, or CFM, or almost any web development language that allows you to interact with a database)





Then you give them the option of creating their own page, which displays information that is stored in different fields of the database. (Whether it is "Displayed", shown to the readers, or Just put into the code of the page, so if they included HTML code, it works).





You can continue to add different features, like music, videos.. all by creating a ton of fields for every person in the database (not as hard as it sounds)





I suggest PHP for a language, running with a mySQL database.
