Social Network start up capital.

[Sam1]

How much start up capital do you reckon you'd need for a social network to compete with Facebook?

I'd say around $1000 bribe money- bribe uni students with pizzas or something. Around $3500 for a couple of servers and a testbed VPS. And if you aren't a programmer then around $90,000 to hire one- you wouldn't just be able to buy a script (well I don't think you would).

Thoughts?

Check out www.PhpFox.com, I purchased the $300.00 plan for a social network I run (which is the largest in its niche) and it gives a lot of FB features and its easy to make modifications once you learn its code.

PhpFox seems to be good. I just read a few reviews!
