In Drupal, you can't give content level permissions, just module access restrictions. Eg, if a person can edit a Book, they can edit all books. You can't, by default, say Person A can edit Book only and Person B can edit Book B only. So if the default level of permissions works for you, then WordPress is fairly similar (though you may want to install a role manager plugin to fine tune it.)
For the last bit, that would require multiple plugins and depending on how you want it to work, it may or may not exist. You could, for example, use WordPress and enable multiuser so each person can create their own blog. You can probably create something so they create their own profile page - probably a plugin for that. But you have to be careful how you grant users permissions in the admin - if they've got permission to edit one page, they've got permission to edit all pages (by default.) Some plugins might get around this by not actually using "Pages"...
WordPress comes with and there are plugins for social networks like facebook. You might also look at buddypress (wp plugin). There are also social network apps you can buy that are more of a social network than a CMS. Or you can use a web service like http://www.ning.com/
ThanX, franX-- alles klar. I'm very familiar with, (and frustrated by) NING-- it could almost be a contender if it was either still free, or if you got some kind of support for the current fees. I think it can be configured at the highest pay level to look like a "normal" website-- but it's next to impossible to integrate with other systems.
