Why not? I think you should continue with your plan and perhaps add more applications that Facebook doesn't have so it will make it more desirable.
I agree. Plus you're competing against people who have access to a lot more money than you. Just take Wayne Lineker for example who's a multi-millionaire has connections all over the world owns a bar chain that's worth an 8 figure sum and I don't even think his social network will ever really get anywhere. www.waynesworld.com
