Social networking site for indians

[successlieswithme]

Hi,
being an indian,
i wanted to start a social networking site for indians,
as everyone knows most of the indians prefer only orkut,
i have script for orkut but i dont want to use that since its too small,
i donno why my fellow indians like orkut but it dont have any feature except friends and communities,

which script do u recommned for it?

i have good experience with phpfox and dzoic's handshakes and all other free/commerical scripts,
personally i like handshakes but i found that people are easy at working with phpfox.

shall i use orkut clone script or phpfox or handshakes?

and do u have any other tips to get members for site.

As far as getting members, Starting a Web Community [webmasterworld.com] in this forum's library has some suggestions.

I haven't seriously used any of the social networking scripts, though I'd offer the generic comment that if your potential user base is familiar with one particular style of interface it would be good to make your interface similar enough for them to use it easily. Good luck!
