Replicating a social networking site

Thread view: 
Buddha - 11 Mar 2008 12:07 GMT
Dear all,

One of my friends wanted this to be done for him.
He wants me to build a social netowrking site for him. I personally am
not really into any social networking site, other than having been
forced to hang around orkut for some time.
I was wondering has someone has been approached this way to replicate
a site and if yes, how did you go about it (and any advices for me to
begin on such a journey ) ?

My main challenge is to figure out the functionality offered by such
sites.
For that matter: what will be the best way to figure out what all a
site can do/ allows ? (other than ofcourse going through the gamut of
functionalities provided on one website )

Any help appreciated.

Rgds,

He does. I was wanting to know if someone knows better ways of knowing
a sites' functionality(or its "operations"),
other than ofcourse trying out every action possible and noting it
down.

That is the way the best software is stolen (legally).

BTW - this person is not your friend.  My advice -
find some real friends.

PRECISELY replicating it, or replicating it to the point it could be
confused with the original is usually associated with "phishing" an
illegal activity used in identity theft.

No no...
He just wants a social networking site... with additional
functionalities/operations he has in his mind which are not there in
the currently existing ones, which means, that the site should be able
to do atleast what all the other sites are doing/allowing to do and
then add up his functionalities to the site.

Still... any other way someone has devised to know a sites
operations ?

Soc Networking sites are so basic...too basic to invoke Java unless
you go mobi

Why would you want to close off a public
conversation and turn it into a private
thread?  Are you afraid that your ideas
are actually worthless and might be
labelled 'facile'?

(And no, don't email me. If you have something
worth saying, put it on this thread.)

What a facile interpretation.  Are you reading that out of a book?

Phishing is an active, deceitful campaign and has nothing to do with
emulating or straight-out plagarizing.
