Do you mean basically an open source alternative to Facebook?
Diaspora might be the most famous, if that's what you're looking for.

Thanks for the replies guys -
Yes, basically an open source alternative to facebook - something i can customise if needs be.
Preferably something i can have complete control of and not something that's hosted elsewhere.

I'm not trying to create another facebook, but I'd like to incorporate a similar functionality to a website I'm working on...
Just not sure how i could take one user - who may be friends with / following 200 users, and display all of their updates (be it status, photos etc) as they happen.
Could write something myself, but would feel better using something that's been tried & tested
would prefer it was asp.net, but for performance reasons, php seems the choice for social networks!
