Yes, but a straight-up clone of Facebook isn't the way to do it. Facebook succeeded because it chose a specific target market and oriented itself to that target market; in this case, the market was American college students from (mostly) affluent backgrounds. In other countries the market will be different, and so simply "cloning" Facebook likely won't result in a site that's appealing enough to the target market in that country (if you target students, for example, you must deal with the fact that the educational system and culture vary widely from one country to another). You also have to face the likelihood of competitors -- Orkut in Brazil, for example -- and be prepared not to say "we're just like that other site", but to say "here's how we're different from that other site, and why we're better". -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
