Social networks are pretty much played out. People have made a social network for almost everything, and very few of them, if any, have gained any traction.
As sharemywin[1] said, you might be able to get a fair number of users; however, the problem would be with monetizing those users. According to [2], you will make very little money with advertisements. (I'm assuming this project is for the money; if not, you can safely ignore this whole post.) I doubt that there would be very many people who would pay for any social network, so it would be difficult to make any money off it.
