About a year ago, I was involved in a project that aimed to build a social networking site which allowed gifting. When I say gifting, it involved gift cards, money, e-cards, among many others. As I was too busy here in my other project in Phoenix, I was not fully involved with the project and the last thing I know was that the account was pulled off from our company. Ok... let's not focus on the reason why the project failed or was not delivered. I am sharing this to you because I think that building a social networking site entails a lot of planning, not just technically but also the business side of it. Besides the fact that you need to have a highly technical work staff to build the application, you would also need to keep a highly skilled staff to maintain your site if in case anything goes kaput. Some businessmen just think of how to build and start the business but real and seasoned businessmen know that maintenance and support is what keeps the business going.
