New Social Network help

[Colemans11]

I want to start a new social networking site and I just wanted any kind of help out there about social networking sites like how to go about starting them, maintaining one, and anything else. Right now the idea is still being planned and I'm just trying to gather whatever knowledge I can about it.

I built Entrepreneurs Haven on Ning. Maybe Ning would be a good avenue for you.

Start with a social networking ready made platform. phpFoX » Social Networking Script is ok.

You'll have to differentiate yourself incredibly well to succeed. Target a niche market.

There are lot of social networking sites that may be able to provide you with some solid information and secondary research.

All the best!

When working with these programs would some kind of knowledge of html help with customizing the website?

Definitely would help.. but not 100% essential.

I would recommend outsourcing a firm to design an individually branded website for your new venture. Nothing worse then using a standard template!!!
