The Profile Engine began life as the worlds largest social network search engine. With addition of an elgg front end it has become a fully fledged social network.
We have had our fork of elgg under intensive development for the last three months and have done some amazing stuff. We now invite the elgg community to be among the very first people to experience the all-new profile engine.
Some of the key enhancements we have made to elgg include:
Full site AJAX which degrades nicely for crawlers or if javascript is off.
Integrated music/video player which will continue to play as you navigate the site, thanks to the AJAX.
Integrated Facebook chat bar with single sign-on.
420 Million personal profiles.
50 Million groups.
20 Billion data points (friendships and group memberships)
Powerful custom-built search engine based on sphinx.
We have had to heavily modify elgg in some respects so unfortunately our work can't all feed directly into the core elgg code but wherever possible we will be open-sourcing and releasing our work as plugins or adapting it to work with a standard elgg install, as soon as time and resources allow.
At the moment, a lot of features are still disabled or incomplete but it's time to start letting people use the site while we continue to develop it. Currently the only option for login is using Facebook.
Chances are that you already have a profile engine profile, just log in with Facebook to claim it!
We would be very keen to hear your feedback, either on this topic or (especially for bugs) please use the feedback link provided at the bottom of the page on the site to access our feedback forum.
So without further delay, here's the link... please check it out!

So you're the 2nd largest social network in the world!!
@Eman: the only problem is that most likely about 99.99999% (or more) of the 420 M people don't even know that they have a profile there - otherwise much more would be pissed about it...
2nd largest social network? It's like saying Google has the largest website on the world. After all their "site" contains almost all other websites of the world. :)
@rjcalifornia Well you are right about that :D

Facebook sold you out, changed its mind, and now it’s getting sued
Anyway, it is nice to see elgg implemented on such a large project
wow you sued facebook lol
Very interesting. The Profile Engine showed elgg can be customised to do anything. It's search was amazing.
i just found my profile on the profile engine using my old picture from years ago LOL
i never went inside @there - found the idea that they were lifting my fb details w/out my permission abhorring and.. that 'chris' had been obnoxious here before, babbling about all the source code being foss, but never making that code accessible to anyone and attacking some Devs here for 'trolling' ?;-P while he was trying to garner 'support' for his site. he had claimed the core team had the source code, but the core team never acquiesed in public.
What does the site do that doesn't exist?
So Chris is now suing Facebook... Interesting turn of events.
Chris, nice work, I like your search engine - I can see you had to modify database.
I don't like idea of getting user accounts from Facebook, although it's impressive. I'm happy my fb profile is not there. In case you want to protect yours, just go to fb settings, privacy and make your data private.
