Do it if you're sure that you can create something useful and special than Facebook and Twitter. Otherwise don't waste your time and investment and do something else. Just a friendly suggestion. :)

not to sound as discouraging but making a successful social network is an uphill battle. Problem is not technical, infact technical part would be perhaps most easiest. Major Problem is the substantial amount required to fund such a site, Hosting, Server Maintenance, Traffic Bills. FB had many early investors like goldman sachs to take care of these things but there is no concept of angel funding in Pakistan. Even if you somehow manage the money and use cloud to bypass all these hurdles next comes the stage of viral adoption and popularity.

Pakistani ppl are notorious for clinging on to old habits. Orkut is a glaring example, which you guys on this forum might not use but it still has substantial popularity in Pakistan. The Last but perhaps the most important part is how are you going to make money ? As advertising is the dominant business model then you will find no solace in knowing the fact that Pakistani online advertising market is perhaps more smaller than a rodent's brain. You remember the first time fb was banned in Pakistan and suddenly within a few days MFB popped up, well despite quickly gaining a following last time i heard they were requesting direct cash donations from members to keep the site running.

On the other hand if you just do it for fun then i can assure you it would look brilliant on your resume(assuming you do not use ready made scripts) and will help you in getting a job.

You should consider what [MENTION=38481]zylo123[/MENTION] has said above, furthermore planning is the most important of all, do it well and find the people who are experts (with hands on experience) in their specific fields..for the rest, best of luck!

I am sending you a PM for this. If you have a good team and idea then you might be able to work together on this. Because now a days, each and every person is looking to make websites and search for easy money.

first ur points are valid but to make something epic is my project so i dont need ur ass saving calls..i am not hitchhiking here i will go through with my project!!
if any one wants to join my team plz pm me ..motivated people only!!

I first thought of making a gamers reputation site but that is another project..i want to focus on this one..it will take time and hard work ..another friend of mine that lives in the us says that its difficult to pull of but he suggests to restrict the social network to Pakistan only or asia..meaning making it only for pakistani ppl...i need a 2 -3 more people in my team to share ideas with..but i cant wait more i will strt my project with Sani soon..if some ppl want to join in then,,,we will just run them through what we have done so far!

I dont know why but that just sounds funny, or maybe its just me :D

I cant tell if you are trolling us or you genuinely want to do this, anyways have you thought of anything different that you are gonna do from facebook and twitter that will make your project stand out ?

Just saying but why not make an alternate to Youtube instead? That could be genuinely successful with the right amount of time and resources.

I do remember how viral www.ishowtube.com went in a few couple of days when they launched it but there server has been under maintenance for quite some time now and i don't think there is a chance they might be reviving it anytime soon.

please dont take it personal, I just wanted to chip in to help you the most.

the moment you said you want to make a social network you fail to execute in building a thought, to make something extra ordinary you have to go out of circle and think, I am sure you must of worked a lot to just finalize your genre of product (in your case its social network) and you must of seen atleast 1000+ social network sites running on fake ID's and spam bull dogs, I dont remeber exactly but I have seen a website an exact replica of FB and they all empty and silent.

I think you better start again with selecting your genre.
