"The Social Networking CMS – Pligg is an open source CMS (Content Management System) that you can download and use for free. Pligg CMS provides social networking software that encourages visitors to register on your website so that they can submit content and connect with other users. Our software creates websites where stories are created and voted on by members, not website editors. Use Pligg content management system to start your own social networking community in minutes."

If you've got the network, the users, or the clientelle to support a system like Pligg, it can be a great tool for managing niche content or submissions. Pligg is based on the Digg interface of "user voted content", but this same ideology can be (and has been) applied to dating, video, article, shopping, and photo websites. Check out http://www.pligg.com/gallery/ to see some examples of Pligg in action.
