Technologies are based on the type of application you intended to develop.
Mostly web applications use PHP as best choice including Digg, Wikipedia & more.

Comparision elgg & others
Elgg is more reliable, having lots of plugin functionalities. They are providing API plugins to add functions / modules into it. i feel that is their greatest value added thing.
Other than that, elgg is fine, but compare with some other opensource platform they dont have more services.
If you are looking for a readymade services, elgg is not a good choice.
