Re: Are We Wasting Our Time?
WP and BP can do whatever you want if you have the necessary skills, enough time and/or money to pay someone.
You asked why someone would go to other sites when you could get it all from your site. The answer is because these other sites, like YouTube, do one thing and they do it very good. Plus they offer an incredible API that lets you offer their services on your own site.
These sites already have millions of users and now you’re asking these users to quit YouTube and move across to your site? Most likely not going to happen. There’s not much point at the moment in creating a general purpose social network at the moment. It’s niche networks that matter and stand a chance of success.
Just my 2 cents.
