Rupert Murdoch's comapny News Corp. bougth MySpace for $580 million a few months ago. So the founders ceratinly have made some $$$. Eventually News Corp will figure out how to advertise and market to the 100 million users registered on MySpace.

How difficult do you think it is to duplicate something similar yet different?

**shawnman19** · 10-12-2006 01:15 PM

I have seen multiple people trying to buy code for a networking site like that. Its pretty expensive I believe, with the popularity of myspace.

I just read an article about how myspaces ad revenues have jump by 35% since NewsCorp bought it.

The main reason that Google bought YouTube is they want to do the same thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if you see yahoo buy a sight like one of these in the next couple of months.

BUY Code for a Network Site? Please explain???? Sorry, I don't know how this stuff works...

The concept is called social networking. There are a whole lot of them out there right now. The trick is to create a space that is different from the others so you can attract users. Get hold of the Sept. 11 copy of Fortune Magazine, there is a really good article about how MySpace came to be.

So why are you inquiring, Do you want to own/run a site like this? If so i suggest spending your time now learning. go get some books on what you wanna do and read up from experianced people. money = very hard work

**Vickie** · 10-12-2006 01:54 PM

Thanks! Money isn't the issue...and hard work I'm use too!! I made my first million at age 24 and it wasn't by social networking programs. The problem is I get bored and want to do something MEGA!!!

then you have to invent not replicate.

**sicnarftea** · 10-12-2006 11:07 PM

If you become innovative instead tryign to copy myspace, you might have a chance. If you copy myspace, you're wasting your time and money

you might want to join an angel investment syndicate to get better results

alternatively, I can always share some deal flow with you

for example, if you're interested in social networking, I can offer you a look at some killer opportunitiues which enjoy traction, experienced management and sustainable competitive advantages

it just depends on whether you preffer A or B rounds

Theres a few other myspace alternatives that are out on the net right now... i think msn have a space page which is very similar... another big site is, 'bebo'

theres also Hi5... these are just the ones coming to my head right now, i havent actually searched for these or anything. Ive also seen a few guys request a myspace clone on a freelance site im a member at, but it still from what ive seen i think if you do it right you could be quite huge in time... myspace frustrates me... i think the site runs slow and the constant errors really bug me so i think theres room for another big personal spaced site like it!

There are alot of social networking sites out there and you can buy scripts which are similar to them or you can get one for free(pm me and ill tell you one what you can get for free).

Wow.. you are pretty capable of earning your first million at the age of 24. I suggest you concentrate on your core business rather than going in to social networking programmes. It is a kind of luck to be like Youtube, MySpace or even the Facebook. Perhaps I am wrong but luck plays an important role.
