I know this is broad... But in a very broad context, how hard is it (or expensive) to make a scaled down version of myspace, facebook, linkdin, etc. from a programming perspective. Does the site architecture already exist in any prefab form? I'm a gearhead who just loves design so please take it easy on my lack of pgm knowledge...

PHP version of a digg like app, never used it but thought about it for a certain project.

Anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. There's just so many factors: what language or framework you're using, how well you know your audience, and most importantly how productive you are in the planning stages (i.e. a simple logic error if you're not paying attention will cost you big). Also, if you're planning for it to be large you'll need a little advice on what kind of hardware you'll be needing.

The concept is pretty niche. I have a thorough knowledge of the usergroup. It would involve basic username and profile info ie. name and geographic location...
I'll just summarize.
Basically it's a networking tool for classic car enthusiasts to enhance make and model presence at car shows and cruises. All it really does is allow people with like vehicles to push popularity. This is def not for the wide production classics, more of a way for owners of low run lesser known restorations. I do have to stress the restoration aspect... We're not talking cars that are on the Concours d'E block, these are usually weekend project cars.
Any thoughts? I know it's kind of a weird place to bring it all up but you all seem to pretty fine constructive criticism...
thx!
