I am a New Bee to Drupal community, just started to work in the drupal :)

Its awesome :)

How i came across to Drupal Solution

We are running a Small Web Development shop in India. We have a request for Social Networking Portal.

Portal Must be developed in the Open Source Technology, CMS Preferable.

I went through different CMS options available such as,
Joomla and PHP, when i was trying some search on the TWITTER i found that Drupal is very good site for social Networking Features.

Journey Begins:
I have started from google; i came across drupal.org.
On the Very Front page of the site i have seen 2 Web Portal Case Study. I went through overview of both and i b/w i seen a link for the Show case section.
In Show Case Section i tried search on Social Networking Portal which may help me to identify the list of the features already implemented are matching to mine or not.

Again i must say Drupal community is Awesome !!@

Some of the Good Results i have found @
