A good social networking site's name... - Developers

Hey guys, I have a site blueprint planned for a website that has more features than Facebook and has got tons of features that people want and are commonly mentioned amongst facebookers. The Problem is, I can't think of a good enough name :C [B]Please help me Facepunch! to think of a name[/B]

shittyfacebook.com Nah but seriously, You're not going to succeed here. Oh also, reddragongaming.org is incredibly slow. It takes 3.4 seconds to even start loading.

Want to give us some more information on the site and it's features?

The Social Network

[sp]Or you could drop the "the"... just, Social Network.[/sp] [editline]20th October 2010[/editline] Automerge

[QUOTE=Dragon Master;25529319]dude, This is facepunch... I don't want anyone taking my niche away.[/QUOTE] A niche like facebook? Seriously now...

Don't you think there are ENOUGH of these 'social networking' websites already?

Call it poopahzoor.

[QUOTE=rieda1589;25529347]A niche like facebook? Seriously now...[/QUOTE] It's like facebook in the fact that it's a Social Networking site, It's a niche because I have taken onboard and executed the critisism that many people have about facebook. There have been 100s of social networks before facebook, that had there moment of glory and faded away. Facebook can't keep it up forever...

What sort of experience do you have? Are you aware of the gargantuan amount of work you're looking at if you decide to go through with this?

[QUOTE=StinkyJoe;25529811]What sort of experience do you have? Are you aware of the gargantuan amount of work you're looking at if you decide to go through with this?[/QUOTE] Ye, the work is gonna be tough but the potential payoff makes it worth it. Even if it fails I will have learnt something in the process.

And out of curiosity, what kind of experience do you have?

[QUOTE=Dragon Master;25529319]dude, This is facepunch... I don't want anyone taking my niche away.[/QUOTE] You'll get tons of users that way!

You're seriously considering competing with Facebook? I lol'd.

[QUOTE=StinkyJoe;25529867]And out of curiosity, what kind of experience do you have?[/QUOTE] To be honest. Not much. I know HTML through and through. I know PHP to an advanced level but I aint perfect. I have 5 websites simutaniously being built atm that I am working on. - A user driven content site - Video Uploading Site - Comparing site. and 2 other niche sites. I have alot of free time... I was rejected for further education and I CBA getting a job.

You will fail tremendously. But more power to you for trying, good luck.

[QUOTE=MachiniOs;25529881]You'll get tons of users that way![/QUOTE] oh lordy... I am not going to share the niche of my website while it's in it's development phase. Obviously I will be bragging about the functionality in the Ad campaign.

Do you have a couple of hundred million dollars to spare to even get this thing started? I doubt it. If you did you wouldn't be on facepunch asking for help.

[QUOTE=StinkyJoe;25529952]You will fail tremendously. But more power to you for trying, good luck.[/QUOTE] I only need 1% of facebook people to sign up and be active and I'm set for life... throughout the critisism that I have read about facebook it's an acceptable target. Thanks for the luck :D [editline]20th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=rieda1589;25529957]Do you have a couple of hundred million dollars to spare to even get this thing started? I doubt it.

You don't need money to make a site go Viral. Rule number one of a Indie Web Developer is Minimise costs. I bet you never saw Facepunch through a website's ad? you went to it because of word of mouth.

For some reason the word [url=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/naive]Naïve[/url] comes to mind...

I would just like to point out to you that facebook didn't take on piczo or twitter, they are both services with different goals. and on top of that twitter came after facebook. If you come up with an idea that is social networking but not a facebook clone then you have a higher chance of success. Twitter works BECAUSE its different.
