Social networking is definitely a great business right now only thing i would say is that the industry is also very monopolized, Facebook & Myspacetake up most of the market share and they both have large corporations backing along with notoriety in pop culture them so they will continue to have a grip inthat industry. Also don't let most of your features be similar to FB or MS because the avg person will think why register to this site when they are placeslike FB that share the same features and have a larger network. The key to succeeding in social networking sites is being innovative... little stuff like"Poke Me' & "News Feed" features are the reason Facebook is where its at today. Perfect example is Blackplanet that was one of the firstmain social networking sites but the reason that they aren't where FB & MS are today is because they didn't expand on their idea.... all it was wasbasically a site with a profile description & pics
