y cant we produce masterpieces like a african version of a standard site like facebook? anyone up to the challenge I'm willing to go d whole lenght in this oh anyone wanna join?

I believe they (note I say this in plural ) do exist. Many have been advertised here as a matter of fact and I vividly remember someone accusing me of not giving the person light of day because the site was 99% facebook.

Search the forum and you will find them.

i dont mean a copy i mean a fully different concept but with all the applications and glitz n stuff

long time@yawatide u dey IJ?

tomaagy,

You might want to pull up and chair cos you will be waiting in line for a long time

@ Tomaggy.

The creator of facebook did not model it after anyone's version. It was the vision he saw inside him, and the passion he had that has made facebook what it is today.

Be creative and do something different. Dare to dream, cos Impossible is nothing!

copy copy kat ! lol

u guys dont get! I neva said copy facebook!
Facebook has set a standard well me i've not seen dynamism like that b4 and I just was thinking if I cant beat it atleast create somthing dat rivals it with the technology not design or concept!

As for this thread, I'll say it is quite a good haven for programmers. Are you one? Do you intend we did something on this? As for me, I could volunteer to do some introductory part of the work but what about you, where will you land?

One funny thing here is, when it gets tougher, even the proposer will not be anywhere again because just as we have debated lately, programmers have nothing to physically show from the front-end but plenty at the back-end. This is one here now.

Do you think you can get into the field of play?

its going to take more than a miracle to get something half as good as facebook.
Was Hi5 not there b4 facebook,but as at today many ppl have forgotten there was 1ce Hi5,tagged,ringo. . .
many ppl have tried to rival FB and have given up.
Its better you join the facebook developers and make new applications.

@muza

I don't think you are a programmer.

Worse, you are giving a bad advice.

Don't ever believe you are stoppable. Forge ahead. Whatever your mind conceives, only by striving harder, you will achieve it.

@OmniPotens

Thank you very much for those words.We need to stop discouraging people who are trying to do something good.

Can you build an infrastructure to support such model?

Are you that rich enough to finance such ventures?
a. A multi million dollar marketing budget?
b. servers?
c. a dedicated manpower?

Has anyone been to this Nigerian social site: MyAboki Nigeria http://www.myaboki.com

There is also Twitter http://www.twitter.com

Come on, trying to rival Facebook is pure waste of time. Try doing something new, Nigerians hardly come up with new innovations.

If its not Facebook, it can't be like facebook

Yep!

@topic
keep on trying, you will defintely get there one day

This is encouraging oh! but I agree we need something new!

u wish

I will eventually come up with something good.
Its all a matter of time.

, And instead of criticizing me, Encourage me please.

I wish I could do something to make Nairaland more popular than Facebook in Nigeria at least.

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d

Hey ppl, when Mark Zukerberg saw the vision of Facebook, all he saw was a college website. Im very sure he never imagined it would compete with myspace and hi5. Anyone can do something like or better than facebook if you believe you can! Just work on something good and creative. Im working on one meself, and it will definitely get facebook's attention,

I believe that anything that can rival Myspace,
Hi5 or facebok for now will have to come from The United states.
That is where the game is played. That's where the market is.
India is another potential emerging market.
Nigeria can do something but not now.
Where are we gonna start, Imagine unstable electricity hosting a big server.
Anyway, someday somehow, those who dedicate their time to things like this will surely do something big.

i think my http://www.naijamateconnect.com/ can rival facebook -

uzoma79:

i think my http://www.naijamateconnect.com/ can rival facebook -

is it just me or have others noticed these big sites dont have sentence-like names?
see their names:
facebook
yahoo
google
myspace
nairaland (i should get paid for this please )
hi5

not unitedstatesconnect.com, ukdatemeetup.com, naija<this>, naija<that> arghhhhhhhh!

where's the abstraction?!

This simple game has evolved to become a popular MMORPG. The game's creation was inspired by the world of Lego, which Persson had loved as a child. The free form gameplay allows players to be as creative as possible. Get more interesting details about minecraft survival servers check out this site.
