  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;Hi Anon,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks like you've already got a great starting point there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One not on your list that we've had a few discussions with is French player &lt;a href="http://www.scroon.com" rel="nofollow" title="Scroon"&gt;Scroon&lt;/a&gt;.&#160; At Essence, we've been considering them for a potential project.&#160; They are particularly focussed on &lt;strong&gt;video sharing/social networks &lt;/strong&gt;(think YouTube but in a white-label/closed environment) &lt;strong&gt;across both web and mobile&lt;/strong&gt;.&#160; For the record, we have absolutely no affiliation with them and we haven't worked with them - so I can't comment on the specifics of their capabilities/platform - but you might want to check them out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In reality, when we've dug deeper in the past we've found white labelled platforms to be lacking in flexiblity for our previous projects in the social networking arena (which includes things like &lt;a href="http://www.givetakedonate.org" rel="nofollow" title="Cancer Research Give Take Donate"&gt;www.givetakedonate.org&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://myprojects.cancerresearchuk.org/" rel="nofollow" title="Cancer Research My Projects"&gt;MyProjects&lt;/a&gt; both for Cancer Research).&#160;&#160; However, for what it is worth I think the white label platforms are getting there and using such platforms will be a viable option in the future - whether they are 'there' yet I honestly don't know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;
