I'm trying out Dolphin, Ning and SocialGO. Each one has it's features and benefits but it'd be nice if you guys took a look and gave me some feedback.
Obviously the particular "niche" that i'm targeting won't appeal to many of you but in terms of technical capability it's pretty standard.
The dolphin version : http://pristinepakistan.com/betaG
The Ning version : http://tmsn.ws
The SocialGo version : http://tmsn.socialgo.com
I love Dolphin but it seems that it is on a journey towards Poseidon and until that time arrives, it'll be a work in progress with ongoing improvments and any work we do on templates or mods/extensions will go to waste so I'm holding off on any major mods for now.
Ning is pretty good if you pay for the features and SocialGo is also a beta but is the best in my view with a very Facebookie approach. Would love your opinions.

ps. I use Joomla 1.0.x.x for my main websites which are not social oriented. Having tried Drupal, Wordpress and other CMS's, Joomla is just the best for preofessiona stuff that is not just a blog. (example site: pristinepakistan.com )
