As some server path-leaks in PHP errors revealed, they apparently called their app "Fakebook" internally, which I thought was kind of clever ;) Michael --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

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.

Re: Is cloning Facebook in Django feasible?
You can clone facebook in any programming language using any framework you want. Django is one of the many frameworks which you can use to do it. And yes, facebook has been cloned in other countries, many, many times. The most famous one is from china: http://xiaonei.com/ Not only did they clone the features, they cloned the interface. It even got acquired for lots of money. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Is it possible to develop a Facebook functional clone in Django? What > parts of it are provided out of the box?

Any third-party contributions? This is like going to a company that sells construction equipment and saying "is it possible to build a copy of the Empire State Building with your tools?" ;) Yes, it's possible. But it's going to be a lot of work, it's going to take a lot of time and there's already an Empire State Building that people know and love, so people are left asking exactly what it is that the cloning project would accomplish... -- "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.
