Building a social network “product” is easy, entry level engineers build Reddit and Twitter clones during bootcamps.
I think the right question is “How could we build a network and keep people coming back?”
That’s the hardest thing to do, even with millions behind your back.
Ask Google Buzz, Orkut, iTunes Ping, Vine, Google Plus…
