I am trying to get the ballpark estimate for the clone. I have looked at those sites that match programmers with ppl who need stuff (like rentacoder, etc...) and it seems pretty expensive. I dont really want to give away my ideas, but basically what I would want is youtube w/ some of its features, + some other original features. Now I know it is difficult to say w/o knowing the specifics of the project, but I will still ask: What type of language would this take? And how long would it be for ppl to create? Is it possible to just use existing clones to create mine? The reason I would want an original one is b/c I would want to separate myself from the other guys, + I would like to sell it maybe if my site fails. PM me for details regarding the specifics.
