What kind of talented team do I need to assemble to build a high quality social networking site?

What kind of team do I need to build to build a high quality social networking site such as Myspace??? I see sites that I want to look like mine.... I want category selection like eBay...I a want video software system/management like YouTube... Mostly I want this site to look like YouTube but members can build their pages a little better - like with Myspace...and I want category selection like eBay for posting videos...rating systems...membership management...do I need to hire a whole team of people?...what's the best way to know what to pay without being ripped off....hand picked by me or should I hire someone to hire?????? HELP! Thank YOU!

What kind of talented team do I need to assemble to build a high quality social networking site?
I guess first you have to figure out what kind of software/hardware you are going to use. Freewares..PHP MYsql..Java/ .net(Microsoft) ...


Then hire a senior consultant (an architecht) who is familiar with all these technologies and who can explain what you will need to build that you want to build..


Then hire your team with his help or you can always find somebody to do that for you.


Befor you should start hiring have a clear pictue of what you are going to build..


Lot of time is wasted in requirement gathering if the project in not fully planned and people are hired to code.


Hope this helps..


I'm looking for examples of applications of travel companies (hotels, destinations, etc.) on social networks.

I am currently writing a book about travel 2.0 and I am looking for precise examples of integration of travel into social networks. Could you give me your opinions/examples!!

That will take you ages why don't you search the web.

Does this look good

10 points for best answer. i'm so confused. i want to make a social networking site but how?

PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME A WEBSITE THAT LETS YOU CREATE ONE OFF OF THEM.





i want my own!!!!!!!!!


is there any program i can use?





or some adobe program?





remember, i don't want my social networking site built from another outside website. it can be from a program or my own code or whatever, but NOT from an outside website.

10 points for best answer. i'm so confused. i want to make a social networking site but how?
You can find out step by step guide on how to create a website at http://oktutorial.com/webdesign.htm


You can even earn from adsense using your website.
Reply:To make a social networking program takes a lot of brains. I know you don't want a generated script. You can install programs on your webserver (like WordPress is a program).





To build a social networking website takes a lot of time too. You'll need to first pick a scripting language (JSP, CF, PHP, ASP). I've coded a basic Social Networking website in PHP using MySQL databases. It's fairy simple work but it's a lot of work, a lot of functions etc. You'll need security and you'll also need to know how to keep the program stable under heavy loads (say 1,000 people login) - can you be positive the program will remain stable?





I suggest you outline your program. You'll want several modules. A search feature, a message center for each user, and so forth. If you'd like to IM me sometime I can help you brainstorm for an outline and scripting and ways to make your program run smooth, fast and stable. It will probably take you at least a month of moderate work (4-6 hrs per day) to get a usable program.





With dedication and focused, detailed work, you can surely pull it off. If you don't know anything at all about PHP or ASP etc. I suggest you start learning. PHP which is what I'm into, is very easy, but I've been at it for a few years also.
Reply:I suggest starting out slowly with a blog or something. You need to learn more about website creation and maintenance before you do this. To program it yourself you will need to know HTML, CSS, javascript, and at least one server side language like perl, or php, and a database like Oracle, or sqlserver.





An adobe product like dreamweaver will help you with the client side stuff, but the hard part of a social networking site is the server side stuff.
Reply:do you have a mac!!!!??? cause them use iweb... dream weaver is a good website starter
Reply:start with yahoo... it gives you a domain name.. it costs a bit but they are the best. so with this domain name you get: ex: lalala.com





from there you want a website maker program. (best buy people are a good help for finding one that fits your needs)


with this program, you should get step-by-step derections!!!





hope i helped!!!
Reply:u hav to get permission from the net srevice provider first . i dont know about ur country but here it is like that.we must get permission from the net service provider
Reply:You want to create a social networking site, but dont want a web site that lets you create one off of them. But you want a program to use.





That makes no sense.


The programs are the websites, the websites use these programs that you somehow dont want to use, but in a sense do.





But there is dreamweaver like he said, or the easier to use Frontpage, if you are a college student, college libraries sell it for less then you can buy it on the net.
Reply:-Hosting


-Back end (database and server-side code(php, .NET, asp, etc)


-Front end (design, html, css, etc.)





aka a LOT of work and technical knowledge
Reply:Hi,





Try an off the shelf solution such as Dolphin or Pringo.





Also, once you've created your site, you can promote it on findasocialnetwork.com and attract users.

Which web 2.0 language should I use to set up my own social networking site?
You need to learn a server side language (ie Asp, php, cfm, etc). Work with a database structure (ie postgre, mysql, sql, access etc)


and look into AJAX for serving up goodies and applications.


How to tell if someone is pretending to be a celebrity on social networks such as bebo?

On social networking sites such as the very popular myspace and bebo, how can you tell if someone is pretending to be a celebrity? Becuase there are loads of bebo profiles (not sure about myspace) of very famous celebrities such as paris hilton, and they are all convincing. So, how do you tell if someone is faking it?

How to tell if someone is pretending to be a celebrity on social networks such as bebo?
ask them who they are and if they swear that they are like paris hilton then there fakers....what celeberty whould swear that they are the real thing...maybe...
Reply:Why in the WORLD would a real celebrity being doing on a social network....trolling for fans??? They are ALL fakes...the real celebrities have lives.......
Reply:Just assume that they're all fakes.
Reply:Agreed if they say they are the celeb, and it is not marked as an "official" site more than likely they are imposters....a celebrity is not going to announce on a public space like that. If they are on they are going under an alias to provide them privacy or every nut cake would be hounding them

What is the best website to find a list of all online social networks, or even an approximate number of them?

I need an approximate number of online social networks one can find on the internet. I would prefer something scholarly based, but simply a number should do fine too.

What is the best/easiest way to build a Social Networking site with Site Solution?

I recently created my own website with Site Solution, but I would like to expand my site to involve social networking so people who visit my site not only check out the services I offer but can upload videos and blogs and communicate each other to promote theirs as well.





However, I have no clue how to do this and little knowledge about codes and php and scripting and all the other complicated stuff.





If someone could please help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

What is the best/easiest way to build a Social Networking site with Site Solution?
Social Networking sites demand a lot and should have at least a full time programmer.





Engineering out the website is the first step. Getting all the services and features listed and organized.





If you expect a ton of people to visit your bandwidth will go through the roof and that would result in overage charges.





Don't expect the site to be up and running within the first 3-6 months based on the complexity. A lot of programming has to be done.





Plan, Plan, Plan!


Find some programmers that are like minded in your effort.





Food for thought
Reply:Dear fiend, any bad web hosting service would trouble you for a long period. At first, try to choose a professional service to get rid of the subsequent problems. And also please don’t trust dishonest claims like unlimited hosting space or unlimited bandwidth!

What tools/Software do i need to make a social networking website?

what is the software that is used to make a social networking website like myspace, facebook etc. ive allready got dreamweaver cs3 but what other things could be useful, im thinking about downloading MYSQL.

What tools/Software do i need to make a social networking website?
Start with one of the excellent (and free) content management systems designed for that purpose (Drupal and Joomla are the most popular). Then use Dreamweaver to modify one of the existing themes, or create your own from scratch.
Reply:Better to use pre made social networking script, check out with following free scripts, for more information refer their Knowledge base.
Reply:If I understand your question correctly, you can start a FREE forum at smfforfree.com. You can tailor the pages if you know CSS, but it's not necessary.
Reply:After you learn the technologies mentioned by David, you probably also want to make use of a framework.





A framework is something that makes development easier by doing the very low-level and repetitive things for you so you don't have to code them yourself.





symfony is a very popular PHP framework.
Reply:I'd use Microsoft's Visual Studio Express 2005 and SQL Server Express, both of which are free. Visual Studio also comes with starter kits that will create initial web projects for you to get started with.
Reply:Basically you need:





* Somewhere to store the data (MySQL will do that)


* Something to read the data and turn it into webpages (Perl, Python, PHP, etc)


* Something to get the data to the user, a webserver (e.g. Apache)


* Something to write the HTML, CSS and JavaScript with (a decent text editor, Dreamweaver is good if you ignore the design view (although overpriced).


* Something to produce graphics (GIMP, Paint.NET, Photoshop, etc)


* A collection of browsers to test with





... and a decent knowledge of all the technologies you are using and software engineering.

How can improve the traffic to my website with social networking ?

I have a site and I did the onpage and offpage SEO. But I don't know Social Networking. Please help me to improve traffic to my web site.

How can improve the traffic to my website with social networking ?
Alright, since no one else is even in the ballpark to answering your question i will fill you in.





Social Networking is probably the term your saying when you mean to say Social Media Marketing.





Using sites like Digg.com, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, that utilize a voting system to raise or lower the visibility of submitted articles in their systems, to get a high volume of traffic and links.





You can make an account at any of these sites and jump right in.





There is no easy answer to getting into social media. It takes a lot of time. You need to treat it like entering into a real life social group and trying to make friends with the big players so they will help you succeed.





Think about how you should act in real life and apply it to social communities.





Make friends and network, learn what people are interested in, and don't be spammy or demanding.





Problem is if you do everything right you are still going to have a hard time in the top social communities because they are network driven. It is really a who you know industry.





But the reward is normally upwards of 30,000 visitors in 24 hours and 1000s of quality links that help your search engine rankings.





I say this a lot but it is best to find a social media consultant who has a top level account to help you understand the community. They can help you prep your site and content to perform well and help you push the content to success.





Additionally you can find many niche social communities sites that take a lot less work than these top dogs.





http://mashable.com/2007/10/23/social-ne... has a list of some 350 social communities that you can get involved with.





The smaller the community the smaller the reward so gauge for yourself what level you want to play in.





For Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon you should get a professional.





I spoke in New York at a Social Media Conference called SMX and had some slides that outlined some tips to succeeding in social media. I don't normally self promote but I am a top users on the top social media sites and have some good information in the post.

Reply:There are different techniques on getting traffic in a social bookmarking site, you can either:





- Upload each page of your site.


- Invite friends and add them in your network.


- If the social bookmarking site has a description when you submit your site, create a description that may grab their attention and make them come back to your website from time to time.


- Exchange bookmarks with other members.
Reply:Get an account at some of these social networks.


Use your website as your Sig.


Make an interesting Video to promote your site and put it on your page.


Write some articles and brand them by inserting links to your site and put these articles on your page.





Contribute regularly to your pages and other members pages on the networking site to establish a presence (recognition).


This could be as simple as signing a guest book.

Reply:Social networking is meeting people on a social network site like MySpace or Facebook for instance (and there are many more -just do a search on google for "social bookmarking" or "social network sites"), and build connections with them.





Many people who hang out on those sites may be interested in your offers or products, and they are easy to find if you search the social networking websites.
Reply:You might start with three easy to use social networks.





BloggingZoom.com





MyBlogLog.com





BlogCatalog.com





They are free to join and you will make friends quickly.





You will increase your traffic simply by visiting other sites that are in these networks. They will see that you have dropped by and will usually return the favor and visit you. It is also a great way to find sites that you wouldn't otherwise know about.





Hope this helps and good luck.


Do you let your kids use MySpace or other social networking sites?

If you don't let your kids play "Mature"-rated video games at all, why would you let them use MySpace? Social networking sites are far more dangerous to kids and teens than violent video games, in my opinion.

Do you let your kids use MySpace or other social networking sites?
Not if the kid has a "closed" site that is only available to friends.
Reply:lol my mom tried takin my computer away from me cuz i was using myspace... till i walked out one day and hopped in my friends car and didn't come home for a week... now she doesn't ask questoins
Reply:no way!! I'm an adult on myspace and I won't even put personal pics on my page!!
Reply:yes myspace is good i let my daughter use it but i check it weekly and make her set her profile to private and she cant add anyone i dont know
Reply:NO! Even with settings like private, you never really know who is on the other end of the computer when you are talking to someone ro sending messages back and forth.A determined pedophile can always find a way to contact a child this was or through any networking site. They can even steep so low as to hack into use someone elses profile to pretent they are someone they are not to contact a child. My best advise, monitor your childs internet use very closely. No snooping, but always be aware of what they are doing.
Reply:no i wouldnt because there are tons and tons of online predators online each and everyday. so if i was you i would block inappropriate websites. like block adult websites, block websites that you think could be a danger to your child. and dont let your child go into chatrooms because there are bound to be more online sex predators there.
Reply:I wouldn't let my oldest "10" have a myspace because I have one to keep in touch with highschool friends and it is private and I still get weirdos that try and contact me. As far as video games, "E" for everyone is what I look for.
Reply:I just recenlty allowed my daughter to open a myspace account. She is using it to contact relatives that live out of town and I supervise her use.


I dont know what to say about the videos, my child hasnt had an interest in them, my nephews play more violent games but seem to be well adjusted kids.


Its all about individual parenting choices and knowing what your kids are mature enough to handle.
Reply:I wouldn't, but I don't have kids. they wouldn't be playing mature games either. I'd be a strict momma
Reply:There isn't anything wrong with MySpace. There are options on everyone's account where your child can have a private profile which is only viewable to people they add.





People need to stop blaming bad things on MySpace and TOM. They need to discipline their child and teach them right from wrong. Or not even let them on the internet. At all. Period.





Myspace is just a website. You want to talk about perverts and child molesters? Welcome to the effing internet. They are EVERYWHERE.





When I was twelve and started using the internet, I had my head drilled on not to go into chat rooms. Not to give out my phone number or address.. And with that, I was trusted. I never did anything stupid like that.





So, yes. Tell your kids how to act online, so they won't be stupid and ruin everyone else's fun.





I have had a myspace for two years, and I have never been raped or murdered from it...
Reply:MySpace can be safe when monitored. And you can have your child's profile set to Private so strangers are denied access.
Reply:I'm an adult on myspace and a parent. With anything these days you have to monitor your kids, talk to them about what they get exposed to and be their guide. If my kids were old enough to use myspace I'd let them (currently 5 and 7months). They just need to learn to read.
Reply:ok listen i m 13 , nd i dont wanna be rude but here goes..


Listen some Kids are mature , nd Ya i have My space , hi5 nd other blogs , But i never give away information about my family or Location , see i m not dumb ... Nd if u r so insecure about ur child or something Just let them have A private Profile on Myspace ... so no strangers can access it except their friends ...





I was just wondering , Isnt it the same things with adult , havent u heard about adults getting Kidnaped and stuff for giving away information , listen , not everything u watch on Oprah applies 2 teens and Children





U know some Children Dont have webcams becuz of wat oprah said , and ya i have a webcam and i only use it wit my friends not for porn and stuff , U have all the right 2 keep ur kids away from this If u dont trust them








bUT IF u trust ur kids , Then u should tell them To be aware and guide them not just tell that they shouldnt , my mom told me not 2 give away information and i didnt give .. i just wrote about my fav songs , movies , hobbies .... as if someone is gonna kidnap me through this ... and She alwayz tells me not to believe everything they put on The media or movies





Its not nice 2 Be ignorant !
Reply:myspace is actually not dangerous if you do the right things like putting your profile on private also if you have a really irresposible kid dont let them use myspace because they might give out personal information. Most teens and preteens have learned the consequences so i think its safe. I hate when parents get so overprotective........before telling them that they cant go on myspace i would actually check the site out itself.

Best side (besides myspace n below listed) for social networking, that allows full css/html?

I need to find a site for social networking, that is better than myspace, tagworld, bebo, myopera, etc. etc. that also allows full css/html customization. Sorta in the way that myspace allows full css/html, and if this is humanly possible, one that allows javascript and other cool stuff. It would be cool if a page could be made private, viewable to friends only, too...

Why MySpace and Facebook? (a question about online social networking)?

Do you have an account on an Online Social Networking Website (i.e. MySpace, Facebook, Xanga, etc.) if so, W-H-Y? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

Why MySpace and Facebook? (a question about online social networking)?
MySpace - photo comments


Friendster - main purpose is to add more friends.


Facebook - to keep in touch with 'real' friends


Hi5 - similar copy of friendster with different name.


Xanga - featured profile of getting to know a person deeper.


Bebo - Similar to hi5 and friendster


Multiply - to communicate by sharing photos with friends


Yahoo! 360- Something like Xanga


DeviantArt - for art lovers where great pictures are posted and commented.
Reply:I do not have MySpace but I have Facebook.





I think that with either, you have to be careful. A bit more careful than writing emails, but a bit less careful than buying things online. it all comes down to how much information you are willing to share with people. The more information you share with friends, the more info that "others" can see also. That's the case with anything, just like Facebook and MySpace.





However, it appears that Facebook has a better way of hiding info from those that are not your friends. I have clicked on people's MySpace profiles and I dont even have a MySpace account! In Facebook, you have to LOG IN FIRST. Then, they can still decide not to let you see their profile if they choose to.








The benefits? It's the lazy man's way of keeping in touch with people you know casually and wouldnt otherwise call or email. You can see up to date pics of them, if they choose to share them. You can see a phone number change, and email address change, their current occupation, their other friends, etc. without even having to request it from them or them having to send out a broadcast email to all their friends.





Also, you can get back in touch with people you haven't seen in years! Which is what I have done so easily through Facebook, considering I have lived in 5 diff states and 2 diff countries!





It's good to take the pros from it and stay away from the cons. Be smart and safe, and you'll enjoy it!
Reply:I have a myspace account. Through myspace, I was able to connect with several people I had lost touch with. See, I grew up and went to school in Indiana, and moved to Mississippi after high school. No real disadvantages that I have encountered. My stepdad got a computer virus from myspace though... You just have to be smart and be careful. Only communicate with people that you know personally, or it can get out of control.
Reply:myspace and xanga don't appear too safe..so no to that..


but facebook is pretty decent..and its a good way to keep in touch with people you don't see regularly.





you have to ofcourse be careful.





but for me, i've gotten in touch with people from elementary school again and so thats pretty cool.
Reply:I hardly use my facebook, and I use Myspace a few times a week to add new photos, and chat with friends
Reply:Put simply, as stupid as they may seem, they are sometimes the only way to keep in touch with friends. Mostly, I use them as ways to keep in touch with friends in college. One of my friends is a friend in Virginia who ONLY has a Myspace and only replies to it, which is frustrating, but I love my friends.





And I am careful online, so I don't add people left and rights. My online areas are friends only for a reason.


What programming languages are needed to create a social networking site such as MySpace, Friendster, Facebook

I've often wondered how these things work, the most advanced my website knowledge is a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, what goes into making a social networking site and what kind of programming languages are used?

What programming languages are needed to create a social networking site such as MySpace, Friendster, Facebook
Sites like this use a programming language that can interact with a server which probably stores content in a database.





I personally use PHP and MYSQL but there are other server-side languages too such as ASP.Net





Before you start you need to make sure that your web space is able to parse a programming language else it will be a complete waste of your time. Other than that there are plenty of places that offer cheap hosting if you want to have a dabble.





You will find that learning a programming language will open up your web-designing to a whole new level!





Try a search like PHP 101 for some basic tutorials.
Reply:the basic structure of such web pages is all the same: they have a big database, and a server-side program which gets the input from your browser, processes it, and returns an HTML file to your browser, which is then displayed.





On the server side, you can basically use any programming language for this. php is very popular for small or medium sized web pages. Java is also very popular for medium sized or big web pages. I know that amazon is built from hundreds of different modules written in different programming languages.
Reply:You can use readymade software for making a community based website.

Reply:for that you need to use ASP.net, AJAX, JSP etc.
Reply:A server side scripting language like PHP, coldfusion, ASP.NET to act as the middleman between the database and website, interact and make changes to the database.

Why do filipinos go online and join social networking sites?

Hi everyone! im having a thesis about social networking in the Philippines. Your answers will be a big help. Thanks!

Why do filipinos go online and join social networking sites?
Becuase they want a Green Card from the US. Every single one of them i talked too told me thats what htey wanted...
Reply:A friend of mine in the U.S. actually got 'involved' with several different filipino ladies online. He asked them all this same question. Many of the women were looking for a way out of the Phillipines, hoping to come to the U.S. where many of their friends have gone--that and the men in their lives were basically lazy and insisted on the women doing all the work to support them...at least that was the overall consensus. Right or wrong here, it makes sense. Filipino women are very beautiful and very loyal. This truly appeals to U.S. men as many here are fed up with women here who have all but lost the ability to give to a relationship. All U.S. women seem to want is to know what they can GET. So you have a 2 way street here. U.S. men like what the filipino women are offering and the filipino women like the idea of having a loving, stable relationship in the U.S.

Reply:Chops, speak for your own mother, all US women are not greedy and only what, what, want. it is true, women from the Philippines are looking for a way to get into the USA, so i would say that women on those kinds of dating networks, sites, are preying on men who are maybe a bit naive and vulnerable and lets face it, unattractive. I mean put yourself in there shoes, if u wanted out of someplace so bad, and one of the only ways to get out was to kiss butt to some fat Joe sitting behind a PC? It is deffo a 2 way street here.





Also it is not only Philippine women that do this. I have heard about Russian polish and some people in africa trying the same thing.

I'm part of an organization that has had many members over the years and I'm looking for a way to set up a website that will allow all members to create profiles, upload photos, etc. and immediately link up with one another. Something similar to social networking websites but this one allows everyone to automatically connect with one another since it will be limited to members of the organization.

Your thoughts ?

There's more than enough Social Networking sites as it is so I think this would be an unnessecary thing to have on ebay. It is a buying %26amp; selling site after all.
Reply:I can see why they would introduce it (it would largely benefit sellers and buyers alike) however I think eBay is fine just the way it is. I mean you don't really need to meet up with people and find out what they're selling - they already have a perfectly good search button for that.
Reply:I mean this isnt an online social community. I feel that if they add this feature it wont boost sells, or marketing. Ebay is fine just the way it is. Buying and selling wont benefit from social networking. It will be a total waste of time, and money.

How do you start a young, black, professional, social networking organization? How do you setup the foundation

I have intelligent single professionals interested in starting a social group. What should be expressed in writing for the foundation to get started? Should we have a mission statement? Should we have Marketing Plans, Bylaws, etc. Are their any websites in existance that could help with the development of this Social Group. The main purpose would encompass self development,(financial and career development) travel for networking purpose, (like essence festivial or black ski weekend) and adult gatherings from ages 25-40.

UK Government Plans To Monitor Social Networking Sites And Forums...?

Is it reasonable to filter social networking websites like Friendster and Myspace in universities?

I am a student of the University of the Philippines - Visayas, a constituent university of the University of the Philippines System. The administration is planning to filter such sites. We have a debate activity in one of our classes and I was assigned in the affirmative side. The resolution is: The University of the Philippines administration should ban and filter social networking sites in all its campuses. I am hoping someone could help me defend this resolution.

Is it reasonable to filter social networking websites like Friendster and Myspace in universities?
The college's position is:





The use of those websites is taking away bandwidth on their network





The use of those websites is deterring students from the activity they are at college for - learning

At least one new player is trying it. Be Seen Cafe just launched a few days ago. They offer many of the services offered by MySpace but with a more adult tone.

Reply:i dont know but i heard myspace is estimated to be worth 15-20 billion dollars
Reply:It depends on how much services you can provide. How many sponsors can you get for your site. My sites are sponsored by advertisements and so is myspace. The most simple with no outlay method is to create your own websites or blogs @ blogger.com and put up your products' photos and services if you have any. If you can create websites or blogs and can type, you can make online money online easily. You may make money by publishing Google Adsense on your websites. If you have a website or a web-blog, you could make money by publishing advertisements on your site (by google). If someone clicks on those ads, you will earn money. If you don't have a website, you may start creating web-blogs like blogger.com (mostly free) with advertisements (google ads) on it. Some free websites don't allow you to publish google adsense because they are doing it themself.

What do you think of a social networking site that only utilizes a person's picture with no other information.

I am looking for people's opinions. I have friends who have created a social networking site called At First Pic. People provide their pix with no other information. THey would like me to invest and be a partner. DO you believe this idea is safer, as it provides less details than other dating sites and that is also more intriguing and mysterious. Other friends I have asked are mixed or do not have any opinions. There are a lot of social sites; Yahoo Personals, e-harmony, etc. How does this idea sound to you?

Does anyone know of some good social networking software????

Hi there





im looking for some social networking software with all the facilities you would expect including ability for members to upload videos, photos, music etc.





Ive been looking about and there seems to be a fair few options including free ones which appear to be just as good as the ones you pay for. Does anyone have any experience of which ones are best?





it is important to me that it is fully customisable with no encrypted code eg : in php etc that i can add to and adjust/?





whats more does anyone know of any software that allows a link up to youtube, my space etc that means you can upload content to multiple forums/networking sites from just one place?





cheers

Does anyone know of some good social networking software????
you can find it from http://download.com/
Reply:There is really a very interesting software that I found on the net at www.abk-soft.com. This software is very complete, especially the one called the mixer, but it cost $1000.00 for this one, and it cannot be customized. The seller said they only issue 35 of the mixer software. I just looked at the demo, and is very cool. I read some reviews, that the presales support is excellent and the after sales support is terrible. There is a cheaper version of the software, maybe cost about $600.00, which can be customized, of course the customization is extra. This software got everything that the mixer has. The only difference is the mixer has a fancier flash graphic. There is another one that follows myspace format. Use your own judgement please, this is just my opinion, because this software is a dating software, with the combine power of myspace, you tube, and something called 3D city, which is very neat. I purchased the dating site, but I don't install all the features, because my hosting plan is not powerful enough. Bad support, but I think the product is good.





For Youtube, there is a software Youtube Video Site in a Box, on Ebay, cost $4.99. Just try to do a search on item#200217649339, or the seller id is info-store. I don't know if the software is good or not, because I have not bought it. It is supposed to create a code to bring any youtube video you are interested in to your website, with a simple click.

I am creating a social networking website.. Do I have to patent my idea to keep it protected?

Dear Yahoo! Members,





My partner's and I have recently invested in a server, and are creating a small, but unique social networking idea that will be initially a local system for local members of nearby schools.





Furthermore, in the short future, once the site is online and up, I intend to create a Business Plan and look for angel investors.





I was wondering, since everything will be going public and everything will be revealed in a business plan, is it normal for people to patent such ideas before anything is public or has been presented? Or is it impossible to patent the features of a website?





If this is all possbible, do any of you have any idea of the realistic price I would be paying, and how long the approval turnaround is for such a thing?





Please share your thoughts, and ideas, as I would love to understand and execute this properly.





Looking for your guidance.





P.S. Not sure if this matters, but I am based in Canada, and not the USA.

I am creating a social networking website.. Do I have to patent my idea to keep it protected?
You can protect the technology using a javascript called no right click. This will block anyone from seeing the coding that makes the site work. Aside form that you are protected by installing the statement at the bottom of evey page:


Copyright © 2006 Your Comany all rights reserved.


This is a legal copyright world wide protection for electronic media. Hope this helps
Reply:Another way of helping to secure the site is by using the URL block script. As well, using CSS+PHP you can hide the main stuff in coded blocks that others can never see.For an example of the URL block, I use it on my site listed in my signature above. Good luck. Report It

Credibility of members on social networking sites. How much do you consider that?

How much do you consider about credibility, what that means to you? What are main factors for you when you are wondering how credible is a member?





I would be also pleased if anybody know for any article regarding credibility on social networking sites.





tnx

Credibility of members on social networking sites. How much do you consider that?
This might not help you too much, but I only use social networking sites (both facebook and myspace) to keep in touch with people I've met. Most of my friends are from college but its always exciting to find and reconnect with friends from high school and earlier too. Because I use these sites to connect with friends, I believe the members I connect with are 100% credible. I've met them and know them, and they aren't trying to sell me on something.

Blogging software for social networking site?

What is the blogging software to allow millions of users to create their own blogs on a social networking site? Most of the software available is for one user to create his own bloag and post on his site. Is there any blogging software available that can be used by any user to create his/her own blog, post comment on someone else's blog etc? Just like in MySpace?

Blogging software for social networking site?
No. It's custom built. Think of the hardware requirements necessary to handle so many people at once. You need multiple servers working together, load balancing, database replication. Similarly, the software needs to be compatible with the optimised hardware, and be very powerful itself. Unless you got money to buy MySpace itself, don't expect to get your hands on anything like that.


Do you think social networking sites are a good place?

for children to meet? Or are they dangerous?





Watchdog OFCOM have finally realised that youngsters are bypassing the age restrictions to get fuller use of sites such as facebook %26amp; bebo

Do you think social networking sites are a good place?
Good morning ... I have a teenage son who uses bebo and i do restrict his Internet time .





I have also net nannied his computer but i have to admit some of the stuff he has received has been unsuitable .





Kids are very clever these days and much more technically advanced than my generation .





I always go through his history and check and pull him if there is anything unsuitable .





Social networking sites can be good but a whole different world can opened up if kids bypass the restrictions that are there to protect them .
Reply:It si up toparents to actually take notice of what thier kids are doing. Shifting responsiblity is just too easy nowadays.
Reply:I don't think they should be used by children, they have plenty of opportunities to meet other young people at school etc.
Reply:The best place for children to make friends is playing out on the streets %26amp; at school. The usual, traditional ways.





We never made friends via computers did we?





I think the Internet is good for learning and information for kids, but to "make friends".. No.
Reply:They are good with proper supervision
Reply:morning lovely bunches





i think spegali is right, although kids play out less these days so i suppose they use the internet to interact with other kids instead, my kids don't have access to the internet, in fact they would have to put a knife in my back to get access to the laptop. ITS ALL MINE, MINE YOU HEAR !!!! lol xx
Reply:I think they are all pathetic what ever the age, its a bit sad if you need to go on-line to meet so called friends. Another reason why the country is ****** people don't know how to interact, read, spell correctly and it all starts with giving children phones and letting them use Bebo etc. what are the parents doing??? Not being Parents for a start. I always love the answer well they have to have it don't they. Ever heard of the word NO. so please don't respond with that answer because mine will be "grow a pair".





Went of track there a bit but I hope you get my point.
Reply:Maybe sometimes there good and sometimes they are very bad.





Ther parent should take care, that they won´t be misused
Reply:There is no real need for kids to use these sites, but many will want to because all their friends do. I think children under a certain age - say 13 or 14 - shouldn't be allowed to use them. Those that do should be strongly monitored and their parents should make sure their profiles are completely private and any contacts are people they actually know, not strangers they have met over the internet.

How do I start my own social networking site at lowest cost possible?

I know basic html, is it enough to build my own social networking site?





where can I find information on skills required to build my own social networking site

How do I start my own social networking site at lowest cost possible?
Basic HTML will not be enough.





You will need to know other technologies as well, particularly the server-side stuff. On top of that you're going to need to be good with databases - and being _good_ with databases is a whole lot different from say, "knowing a bit of Access"...





I'd say as a bare minimum you'd need to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL - and that's as the _minimum_.





For information on these languages, simply search the net for FAQs and tutorials.

Reply:It would be difficult. A better thing might be to start a "Social Bookmarking Guide" site. This would be a great idea for a site since social bookmarking is so popular. With that you can use Site Build It. It's the easiest way to build a successful site.
