    Start with a user, and build a site around them with something in mind that other social platforms (FB) cant get them. Its damn hard, but I see it happen most when there is a specific niche / vertical involved that aggregates in a way that your normal networks cant do... so if FB is like NBC, become HBO and make content or experiences that NBC couldn't (like the Supranos). Also remember that underpinning every meaningful social experience is a need to connect with your like minded peers, and project about yourself. And be prepared to curate whatever comes your way to keep shit real.
