You can design your own profile questionnaire, choose what modules to include, and a template for your social network. Ning is a great website for organizing a group of people.
Widget Box. http://www.widgetbox.com/
Widgetbox allows people to create, distribute, and most importantly, to find and install widgets on their favorite start pages, websites, blogs or social networks. The Widget Gallery database includes over thirty thousand widgets that you can take and use on your blog or social networking profile. They are grouped by category, from Blidgets, which are blogs made into widgets, to fun and games to communication widgets and informational widgets.

The best way to search for a widget is to use the tag cloud, which will take into account the category and will narrow itself down as you click through the available tags. The most difficult part is the installation. This involves copying a snippet of code and then finding out where on the blog or personalized start page you are supposed to paste it. After choosing a widget, you are taken to a page where you can customize the look and feel. This is where this page demonstrates its wisdom. Once you are done customizing the widget, the only thing left to do is to click on the green Get Widget button. Widgetbox has automated the process of transferring a widget to many different blog hosts and social networking profiles.
