These days we are seeing a certain trend fast emerging in the world of web development. We are obviously talking about more and more web developers using Drupal CMS for creating social networking sites. Honestly speaking, this has actually become a craze!

Being an open source Content Management System (CMS) that is created using PHP, Drupal can be conveniently used for a variety of purposes. The flexibility and versatility that Drupal CMS offers is truly incomparable. But let's take a closer look at why Drupal has become such a hot favorite for social network platform developers.

• Firstly, social networking platforms developed using Drupal would permit new features and customization by third parties who may be using the site. And this would make the social media platform much more flexible and open.

• Secondly, incoming updates will be automatically voted upon by the online audience and the top stories will be bubbling up in the home page of the site.

• Moreover, being an open source content management platform, Drupal also allows high-end programming interface to web developers. And, this enables them to work on the performance of the site...eventually making it more user-friendly and interactive.

Besides social networking sites, Drupal also meets the requirements of other different websites...such as corporate websites, news portals, media sites and so forth!
