In Drupal community we see more and more « product » (like openatrium, openpublish) but nothing in the former « core business » of Drupal : community website and social networking website.
-Ning have drooped their free services but are still having some success with a promise of no-admin service ready to use in 30 seconds.
-Wordpress in the opensource world is taking the lead with BuddyPress which is now included in the new Wordpress 3 release. It offer the promise to be ready to go in 6 minutes.
We lack a social platform ready to use (as service or as installation profile) based on Drupal.
