List of “White Label” or “Private Label” (Applications you can Rebrand) Social Networking Platforms, Community Platforms
Categories: Industry Index, Social Networking, White Label Social NetworkPosted on February 12th, 2007Left Graphic: Forrester Wave™: Community Platforms, Q1 ’09
Important Update: Jan 2009
Before you do anything, first read this important update. Below you’ll find a list of over 100 vendors (and more in the comments) of vendors that offer commodity community software. Before I joined Forrester as an analyst covering this space, I started this list and it grew and grew. In 2008, I published a vendor product catalog that has details of over 50 of the vendors, beyond these listed descriptions. In Jan 2009 I’ve now published a Forrester Wave which segments the leaders that provide solution (service, strategy, and support) for enterprise class marketers (aka customer communities for the big brands). This doesn’t diminish the other vendors listed, as there are unique use cases for each vendor.
Social Networking goes mainstream
I was recently asked by a buddy to name off some social networking platforms that could be branded or changed as needed (that’s where that term ‘white label’ has come from). It’s somewhat relevant as Om Malik has now asked a rhetorical question if Social Network tools are just a feature of website. Overtime, like blogs, these will ‘normalize’.
What is “White Label” Software?
This is software you can brand and integrate tightly into your existing domain. The user experience should be near seamless, therefore any company can have their own MySpace. Kindly do not submit Social Networking tools that don’t meet this criteria, as the list can extend to hundreds if not thousands of companies.

The List
Here’s a list of Social Networking platforms, or suites that you could take and rebrand, if you know of any others, please leave a comment (many of the following are from those that left comments, like Gideon who left quite a few links). Not sorted in any particular order:

Update Feb 13th:
I’ve realized that there are too many players in the space, (my list started with about 8, and grew and grew) in the end (like the CMS industry of the first web wave) only 5 or so will matter. The ones that I’ll recommend to clients (I consult the Fortune 1000) will platforms that will have an open architecture, so it can extend and connect to other social networks. Having both hosted and downloaded options are key, white label rebranding opportunities, and non-proprietary code are essential. No one wants to have multiple IDs, so anything that can provide a solution for long term makes sense. A system that can scale as well as be open to connect to other systems will be key.
Update Feb 21st:
Thanks for all the wonderful emails regarding this post. For anyone who’s asked for a recommendation, unfortunately, I’m not able to provide one. There’s a few reasons why I don’t recommend any of the above 1) I clearly don’t have the knowledge to review and experiment with all of them (about 40 listed now) 2) I would feel horrible if the project went wrong, and it was due to a product that I recommended. Thanks for understanding, I hope this list is a good start for you for you research. If you do have feedback, I hope you blog it, and then leave a comment below so others can hear about your experience.
Update March 5th, 2007: The list continues to grow from email and comment submissions. There’s a few White Label Social Networking apps that are stealth although are apparently doing very well that are NOT even on this list. This market is very large, I wonder how long the demand will support it. Have you read my posts: Social Networking White Label Market Overcrowded, Reminiscent of CMS and Portal craze of Yesteryear and Listened to this podcast A VC’s thoughts on Social Networks?
Update March 14th, 2007:
We’ve hit the 40 mark now by adding Dave U networks. This is still one of the top viewed posts according to analytics.
Update June 6th, 2007
I’m at the community unconference here in Mountain View, and I just added Lithium. Over the last few weeks I’ve been adding more and more. There are over 50 players in the space. I also added Six Apart’s Movable type, this is a very, very crowded market.
Update July 26th, 2007
Techcrunch reviewed 9 of the companies here, and linked to this list, more and more visitors to this post, this is one of the top read posts in the last 30 days.
Update October 8th, 2007
This continues to be the top read post, in fact it’s the top read post for the last 6 months. I continue to add names to this list. Amazing how entrepreneurs continue to build companies based on this very, very crowded list. Also, I’ve become an Analyst focused on this market, which means I’ll be spending more time looking at these companies, something I never had time to do before.
Update: Oct 1st, 2007
I’m happy to report that I’m a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research focused on social computing for the interactive marketer. I’m now officially covering this space
Update: Feb 8th, 2008
This list continues to grow, I’ve counted over 60 vendors on this space. I consistently see the same names appear in client emails of vendors, so I’m already seeing a pattern of deployment. What’s needed is segmentation which will eventually result in a shakeout. I’ve given my thoughts to CIO magazine what that will look like.
Update: Q2-Q3, 2008
I will be doing a Forrester Wave (a document that ranks and rates the top vendors) in this space sometime mid year. It’s much needed as there’s a lot of confusion in the marketplace. I’ll be rigorous and objective in my analysis, some vendors are going to be very happy, and some will be very angry, but what matters is that I help buyers find the right products.
Update: Jan, 2009
I’ve finally completed and launched the Forrester Wave covering this segment, since then, new vendors like Cisco’s EOS and Social Text have joined the ranks.
Mergers, Acquisitions, Funding (Started Feb 2008)
I’m hoping to see consolidation on this marketplace, it’s overcrowded, clients are confused, and vendors will slash each other down. I’m going to keep a list of mergers and acquisitions in this space.
Feb, 27, 2008: HiveLive raises $5.6M venture funding
April 20, 2008: Ning raises $60m valued at $500m pre money
Feb 19, 2008: ONEsite Acquires Social Platform.
March 3, 2008: Mzinga acquires Prospero
March, 19, 2008: Small World Labs acquires $1mm in funding
March 4, 2008: Demand Media buys Pluck $75MM
April 3, 2008: Jive acquires Jotlet, online calendar set
June 9, 2008: Awareness partners with Sharepoint
June 10, 2008: KickApps and Clearspring Team Up to Monetize Social Widgets

Thanks, I added it.

Hey Jeremiah, this is great man, thanks for doing this. Another one to consider for this list: spikesource.
Posted by Mike Manuel on February 12th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
mu.wordpress.org
It is like having your own Wordpress.com. It is free and open source. You can have anyone come in and start their own blog. You can put the entire site behind a password or on an intranet as well. There are many plug ins and an active development community just for the MU (multi user) version.
PHPizabi
Free and open source social networking, with add-ons for a small fee. Includes user profiles with photos and personal stats, blogging, friending, testimonials, chat, user and blog search, and forums.
Posted by Nick Dynice on February 12th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
I think I have a typo in my html for the PHPizabi link.
Posted by Nick Dynice on February 12th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
darn, it is PHPizabi.net
Posted by Nick Dynice on February 12th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Nick
I don’t see how Mu.Wordpress is like a Social networking tool, am I wrong to think it’s just a mass blogging tool? Which could be a component of these white label apps.
Hmm the same for PHPizabi, that’s a forum right?
Mike, I’ve updated the post
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 12th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Mike, on second thought, SpikeSource, this is not a Social networking platform is it?
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 12th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
I suppose multi user Wordpress is no more a social networking tool than the blogosphere itself is. But I think blogs are a social networking tool. I guess we have to ask this question or point me to a post that answers it: what are we trying to accomplish with a social network? And, can we accomplish the same thing with a blog platform that is under one domain/behind a password/firewall? I think the answer is yes. Both help to foster community and discussion within an organization. Multi User Wordpress can do this with a little hacking and guidance of the users (profiles on the about pages, links to co-workers’ blogs).

Depends what you mean by ‘white-label’ but corporations could also use the social business network Ecademy. I will be happy to discuss with anyone that is interested in promoting their brand there.

Wow thanks, this is a great list.
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 13th, 2007 at 5:40 am
Philip
I see this as a very interesting existing social network. Could be better than Linkedin!
I’m seeking platforms or applications that a company can download (or someone can host) where I can create my own ‘myspace for my company’.
I see where ecademy looks similar, but I’m not sure if that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I could be wrong, you let me know.

[...] B) Social Networking, Forums, Wikis, Collaboration I’m tying these two together as both features are starting to merge in many modern versions. While founded from early usenet days, forums allow for communities to form around similar ideas and collaborate. Approximately 33% of companies deploy forums. Wikis have also been used to tie industries together as well as. Savvy marketers are starting to also realize the power of social networking sites in every flavor of focus, including image sharing sites like flickr for marketing. I’ve created a list of all White Label Social Networking platforms. [...]

Is haystack a White Label? I looked at a few of the case studies on the right nav, and they all have the same look and feel.
A white label allows the web team to rebrand it anyway they want.
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 13th, 2007 at 9:09 am
The Raw Voice Generator is a white label social networking platform built for podcasting. RVG powers http://www.blubrry.com, http://www.podcastersnews.com and http://www.podcastpromos.com as well as the sites of several Raw Voice clients.
Posted by Rob Safuto on February 13th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Rob
I remember these sites, yup, they certainly are social networks (in this case for media) but how are they ‘White Label’ social networks?
Can I rebrand them anyway I want? Are there forums, blogs, profiles, IDs, etc?
lemme know, I’m listening.

Vox is not a “White Label” You can’t download the softare, rebrand and merge with your site, thanks though!
Is Ning rebrandable? I can’t tell fromthe site
Momo, YES, that’s a white label!
Yeah, I work with both Robert and Maryam Scoble, wonderful people.

How could I forget Drupal. Slipped my mind, thanks.
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 13th, 2007 at 11:16 am
jeremiah - yes, haystack is whitelabel.
basic: banners, tag categories, etc. easily re-branded:

http://haystack.cerado.com/skypejournal
stronger: the API allows building haystack functionality into other apps, with arbitrary look-and-feel:

introNetworks is one of the first white-lable social networks for business’s, organizations, associations and entrepreneurs that are looking to build communities of interest. We debuted the platform in 2003 at the TED (www.ted.com) conference and it has been customised for use at PCForum, Pop!Tech, DEMO, as well as the World Innovation Forum - among others. Our core focus has been on the matching technology, providing instant matches among 1000’s of profiles - then displaying the results in a visual manner (that has been copied often). You can experience it yourself at http://testdrive.intronetworks.com

Can you provide us with more info, and then I’ll add it to the list? Thanks for your understanding.
Posted by jeremiah_owyang on February 21st, 2007 at 10:22 am
Jeremiah, the best way to understand the introNetwork system is to experience it - that is why the testdrive is so effective. It takes 3-5 minutes to build a profile and see the system.
That being said, the site provides:
Complete graphic and content customization
Can be attached via web services to any database
User Features include ability to interactively search and filter results of matches out of 1000’s of users in seconds. Chat, Forums, introMail - spam free messaging between members, Resource pages (tips and tricks), online Help and Support, Calendar and a synchronized List and Graphic View of the matching results.
Administrative Features include management tools to moderate Forums and user generated content, user/subscribers, complete reporting on all aspects of the system, management of advertising, posting of events to a master calendar and output of all content in whole or part to spreadsheets, on-demand.
This system has been used since 2003 in over 150 networks and by more than 350,000 people.

The problem that I have with the Ning site and the list above is that it confuses Social Networks as stand alone applications with social networking as a baked in feature. Social network applications are primarily about the people, their identities and the connections between them. MySpace is obviously a social network. Odeo is always going to be a podcasting site despite having social networking features.
In the list above Drupal and Community Server are CMSs. Sure they have more features but that doesn’t change their emphasis.

This is one behemoth of an article……I have come back to read and reread it again and again. In fact, I was returning to your article so often, that I decided to haul it over to my blog ALLTHINGS.TV - of course with full disclosure and link back to your site of the original Jeremiah Owyang!!!
Here’s an eye opener. I have contacted two out of the 40 odd companies and requested a quote for a website , built from scratch,and to include on it, every conceivable tool they had on offer……
So this in my opinion would be a nice little earner for these companies…..I am still waiting for an email or phonecall reply from both……
What does this tell me…Well it could tell me that their customer service leaves something to be desired, especially after spending a good quarter of an hour of my time on the phone with the sales rep…..
But I am going to be more chartiable and suggest that these companies are so swamped with job requests by nervous companies, worried about being left out of the social networking marketing boom, that the design teams simply have not had the time to catch up with the small guys..
How cruel market economics can sometimes be!!

[...] Key considerations for the crowdsourcing platform start from deciding whether to build an own community from scratch, which is time-consuming and expensive but offers the possibility for greatest degree of tailoring; using an existing community and tools available on the web for free (Ning, YouTube, etc.) or for charge (Doritos @ promotions.yahoo.com, other white label community tools), or utilizing some kind of hybrid of these (svenskafans & youtube + metacafe). All have their advantages and drawbacks, and these should be checked against the goals of the effort before deciding on any one. Naturally, piggybacking on existing communities gets a company started far quicker than building a comprehensive service, but might lack in delivering brand message and tailoring possibilities. However, with today’s web tools, especially those on offer against payment, are highly customizable to any need and might on many occasion deliver the best experience / cost ratio. [...]

There are more and more social networking platforms available, these are crossing over in personals and dating sites - or is it the other way round?
It is already common knowledge that niche sites convert best, especially when promoted using targeted traffic.
In order to maximize your ROI you should be sending traffic to a site built exactly to their interests. Traffic is then already qualified and more likely to convert. As all members in niche sites by definition have a shared interest, more members are likely to be of interest to the individual. As far as users are concerned niche sites offer better value for money, they are prepared to pay more (if a subscription model is used), and will remain members for longer.
With worlddatingpartners.com you can create a site targeted at any niche defined by selecting any combination of member demographic, criteria or interest. Only members matching this will be loaded into the site, from over 5 million members.
The extra benefit of using a system like this is you have the option of integrating into an already active community without having to wait to reach a critical mass.

I would like to revise my post a tad bit:
This is our broad platform specs:

Server: Pramati 5.0
Environment: JDK 1.4
DB Details
DB: Oracle 8.1.6
Browser’s compatibility
Internet Explorer 5 and onwards
Mozilla Fire Fox 1
Is your solution compatible with our platform?
Do you provide a development + hosting solution?
If you hosted the community would that community support my portal’s SSO (www.window2india.com) and would we be able to have a mirror dbase at our end via XML link - updated in real time?
please respond by shooting me a mail on rajivj@timesofmoney.com

What a great list! How about IconDrive.com (http://www.icondrive.com) that is not only a “Social Online Navigation Networking” site, but also features it’s own downloadable browser.
IconDrive.com allows members to share a wide variety of web pages and other online destinations though a GPS-style navigation interface. And it’s “Ride” feature allows members to utilize each other’s navigation links.
Identified by each web site or online destination’s favicon, the navigation screen allows for the maximum number of navigation links in the smallest possible space (when title are turned off). And an automatic e-mail is sent when members modify their links for any particular sub-category.
Although the site is free to signup, the “Test Drives” entrance allows you to try it out without registering!

[...] At first I experimented with hosting my own social network using Joomla and Phpizabi but I quickly realized that configuration, administration and design customization is a full time job. These frameworks require way more html, code and layout time and skills than Wordpress, myspace or blogger. I want to spend my time writing for the blogzine and promoting the site, not messing with code, so I went with the hosted solution. If you’re interested in open source social networks you can host yourself, there is a very excellent blog post with a huge list here. [...]

Posted by Customers should avoid Community Software Vendor Lock In: Own your data on March 25th, 2008 at 6:10 am
Hello Jeremiah,
One thing that we’ve found to be of increasing importance in this space is to provide not only a good software platform, but also the services around it to make sure that an enterprise customer is: 1. Actually creating something that is valuable to both the enterprise AND the end users. This requires strategic planning and expertise in building online communities, something that most organizations don’t have in-house; 2. Has a plan for how to attract users and create a loyal membership base. The Field of Dreams attitude of “build it and they will come” is simply not true these days. You need to create a formal market plan to achieve the lofty goals that many organizations have.
When you look at how to differentiate the long list of vendors, we (Small World Labs) think the most important differentiation is providing a full solution to enterprise customers. It’s this approach that leads to success. If you’re looking for easy markers for success, just look for the number of social networks that are built on white labeled applications that have actually been bought by other companies. One of our customers, BeliefNet, was recently purchased by Fox. I think that is because of the partner-type approach we took with BeliefNet in making sure that they didn’t get just another social network, but rather received one that was valuable to its members, that proved to be the difference.
Thanks for continuing to cover this.
Michael Wilson

Help! I am one of the customers that is confused and overwhelmed by the amount of these companies in the marketplace. I have a great idea (in my opinion of course) for an online community. I know what types of features I would like, but I have spent hours trying to narrow down which of these solutions would be for me. I have relatively very little knowledge of technology, and so white label software seems like a great option rather than hiring somebody to build my site from scratch. Can anyone offer any suggestions of where to start, and/or maybe suggest some companies that are set up better to work better with customers with my lack of knowledge?
Posted by Jessica on April 7th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Another candidate for your list! communityQ was designed specifically for media companies and has some nice features they need, like the ability to communicate with production systems and pull or push content to other web sites. Sample sites include http://www.triblocal.com, http://www.placeropolis.com, http://www.mydecaturdaily.com and http://www.mytopiacafe.com.
We are hosting dozens of media sites. As you can see, with a grounding in media design and content, our stuff is built to be flexible and is driven by good design.
Our software, while designed for TV stations and newspapers, could be used by any company that wanted to host a robust dialogue with their customers. We can handle calendars, stories, blogs, video, photos and will soon add ratings and the ability to designate other users as “friends” who have more access to your information.
We also have unique hosting software, mediasiteQ, which lets a web site change it’s design and look with a single mouse click. We don’t think media sites should be like bank sites and look the same every day! Again, could be useful for non-media companies, too!
And we have classified software, adQ: Intelligent classifieds, that is unique in that it actually helps users write a classified ad. (Because most people can’t write an effective ad on their own. . . )
Check us out at http://www.adqic.com and learn about our background in consulting, design and content at http://www.creativeciriclemedia.com.

Jeremiah,
Excellent list! I too am a bit confused by various classifications (white label or otherwise). I was under the impression that egonest would be classified as “white label”, but now am not so sure. Since it allows for enterprise networking, with all the standard aps (but since networks reside on our servers), would it not qualify even though it allows for individual branding? Does the fact that it’s free exclude it from the list? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

thanks jeremiah,
Bt i think you didnt get my question, what i meant was for you to think of doing (eventhough i know your time is so limited and tight) things like:
1) Organising a conference in say East Africa.
2) Organising a fundraising event for say East Africa
3) Organising an (Internet or WWW or Social Networking or anything else) Awareness Event to these 3rd world countries.
4)Conduct a research of awareness (Internet or WWW or Social Networking or anything else) in this part of the world.
This is because, the awareness in these countries is still too small and as your chance and knowledge is concerned you are in the right position to do this and many stakeholders of the industry are likely to understand and collaborate with you.
I THINK IT ISNOT ONLY FOR JEREMIAH, ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED AND CAPABLE CAN JUST WORK ON THIS.
Also, can you make a list of “white label” payment gateways if they exist.

Wow… crowded space, indeed! I’d like to add our white label, software as a service (SaaS) offering to this list. It’s a full featured citizen journalism / social networking platform. You can read about the company at Metromojo.com and you can see an example of the system in action at LouisvilleMojo.com
We built the Mojo platform to be a local/geo-targeted space killer and we’ve accomplished that goal in our own state and a new client in Indy is doing very well in their space. Louisville Mojo serves 250K+ unique locals with 50+ million page views each month. It’s pretty sticky stuff and from all the competitive analysis I’ve done, I’m pretty proud of the incredibly deep feature set we’ve built into it. (We’ve had five years of constant refinement on the code.)
Open ID / Open Social are on our to-do list, so hopefully we can offer that in the near future as well.
Best,

I’m soon to be setting up a really serious social network and i’m looking for the BEST white label option out there.
My main needs are for;
- users to be able to post events and have them categorized by music genre.
- good news module
- interviews module (duplicate of news really)
- videos & photos module
- i’m also going to have charts and reviews
- forums
- everything can be commented on by signed up users and rated
- i’m not bothered about the users customizing there profile page
- and a good option for customizing the site as i’ve got designers ready to go. but i haven’t really got great programmers so the easier it is to setup the better.
I wonder if people can advise me in which white label network i should go for or look at.
Every article i read people are saying different things and there are new options to consider like Social GO.
I’ve been looking at Ning & Kick Apps plus reading about allsorts of others.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks, Matt

Jeremiah, Just talking about this subject this morning with our B&D department. Great list…
You should check out Guidespot.com, an online platform where you can make a guide about anything you want… from local, with business listings and maps, to mug shots with images and videos. Perry Evans, one of the founders of Mapquest, is the CEO, so there is definitely a a strong business model behind the product.
Guidespot is available as a white label platform product, and all identity dynamics can be altered to suit a variety of needs.
At this time you can’t download the platform for free, but you can use the platform for free, and enjoy the benefits of a multi-media UGC platform and social tool. There is also widgets and an API tool.

Excellent list, altho like drinking from a firehose. One help would be info/link to case studies/suggestions on how to leverage these suggested solutions. I get the feeling, looking at the list, of looking at a box full of keys without really knowing what or even where the doors are.

What utter crap,
How on Earth will any one be able to manage more then 2 supposed social network sites. I am a professional in the recruitment industry and there has been a buzz about the “Social Networks” for the last 18 months and how they’re the way of the future for finding the hard to get candidate, eg; LinkdIn / Myspace / Facebook etc. etc.
Any of the people I want would not have the time to spend in the sites in the first place. May be one site for a short period to see what’s on and then limited visits during this time.
If there are any real visionaries out there then join me in saying we will all look back at “social networks” in about 3 – 4 years and laugh at the dysfunctional naivety of the people who participate in them.
You have a lovely day,
Transparency.

Jeremiah
Im struggling to find a platform that supports what I call “communities within communities.” For most sites, they offer a weak GROUP page or function. We started our site for military veterans in 2008 on Ning. Quickly we found that our members belonged to a number of different veteran organizations, many local Posts or Chapters without a web presence. They quickly formed groups on our site but we quickly found the Group function lacking. These groups want to post their own events, photos, videos, blogs, forums, etc.
Because of this we build several seperate groups for University Veterans who need full functionality of a social site for their hundreds of members, etc. The problem is, they become “islands” who cannot communicate or share with other vets in the larger network of veterans worldwide.
The answer is a robust Group Page that acts a mini social site within the large community of, in our case, veterans. It would be the same for many sites; car collectors belong to social sites, but if they could build their own local car club inside the larger community of car collectors, the larger network would build itself!
We quickly determined Ning intentionally crippled the group function as their PR focus was to build large #’s of networks period. Socialgo looked promising but as of yet. do not see the power of these groups. To us, its the next great growth layer of social networking, the ability to host multiple levels of communities with a vertical focus.
We’d appreciate any direction on what network understands this needs and provides solutions.
Posted by Bob iceman curry on May 1st, 2009 at 2:38 pm
These are all very good applications, thanks for the list. It would be nice if you could also include pricing here, that way I don’t have to visit each individual site to see if the product is in my price range. There are some companies here whose products are as much as $5000 per month. That’s quite hefty, it adds up to $500k or more per year, for that kind of money I can outsource the creation of a solution to someone in India through Guru.com or Elance.com or something.

TO BOB ICEMAN CURRY - Hi Bob, we have created Australia’s first white label social networking platform. We have a module that allows you to create multiple communities with one membership. Unlike the Ning model it also allows you to keep all customer data and content to grow your own community (rather than a third part’s) and, of course, you can create your own terms.
TO DVD DUPLICATION - our platform is modular and is a one off cost. The base platform is $10k (AUS dollars) and additional modules are between 1-7k. We currently have a promotion on where you get $7,000 modules free or 50% off base platform cost - which means it is a one off cost of $5k (aus). The offer is availble til 21st May.
