Ideas are not enough, you have to bring something else to the table, i will advice you to learn how to hack, start with python, its easy to learn and at the same time, very powerfull to do what want. Just my 2 cents.

There is a huge void that you can fill with your skills here in Africa,that is if you are interested. I believe you will make more impact and touch lives than in the US,which i believe is saturated?

Why reinvent the wheel, if you want more customization than what Ning offers, just download the source code of the social network that you create on Ning and then extend it to suit your taste.

i used belong to facebook and myspace but i just dumped all that because i used to waste hours on those sites instead of coding and adding no value to my life, i will say that social networks are pretty useless 70% of the time.

I beg to disagree, web2py is quite good, at least in my own impression much better that webpy, at least when looking at it from the angle of code documentation and cohesion.

are you saying that Y-combinator is now in nairobi, kenya? i thought that the country recently had some election crisis? so how stable is it?

I guess you mean Internet conection costs being too high, also 3rd world countries are mostly beset with war, hunger and famine, with little or no basic infrastructure, so would be hackers would find it extremely hard becoming hackers.
