Do you know any free social media software?

Question

I am going to launch a project in which I want to create a private social network to which mobile devices will be available. To do this, I will use a framework called Mobilis , which helps in the development of real-time collaboration services. This service has a server with which it communicates with an arbitrary base server of a social network. I searched social networks and found many different products, and I cannot check all of them. I would like to know if you have experience with any of these products, I am looking for a service with these properties:

• Free (no need to pay for it)
• API for making remote calls from a Java server
• It would be very nice if I did not need to deploy to my own server, if I could use them

The functions that I need from the service are basic:

• Add someone to your "friends."
• send a message
• Some "groups" of our "forum", such as interaction

So, did you do something similar to it and could advise what to use or what not to use?

Thanks Oscar

Answer 1

Have you checked something like Eureka Streams ? I don’t know all its features, but it’s free (and open source ), and, from the website, it looks like it’s all you are looking for. (The only thing I'm not sure about is the API for making remote calls from a Java server.)
