I can see this working out great for aol as well. Just amagine the possibility of what they will do with it. They already own the instant messing world, and linking profiles with your aol myspace, or maybe replacing your aol instant messenger profile with your aol myspace...The possbility for success is inevitable.
Will myspace dissapear? No. But will it lose members and slow down down its craze. Yes.

I know this is a lot to ask for, but I thought I might just go on and ask, because I have nothing to lose, and I do believe someone is out there who can help me. I am a very good marketer and I know I can take myspace.com down the drain if I get help from the right person.
So basically I wanted to know if someone can instruct/teach/show me me over Aol Instant Messenger, My screen name is: [CHINCHASTE]
How to program something exactly like myspace (not including their logo/and branding)
I will do my own graphics. I am well versed in HTML and designing, I'm just not good with the programming aspect.
I AM WILLING TO PAY through paypal whoever can help me, but whoever can help me for free would make me happier and I will over much more than money can buy in the long run. I understand this is a ridiculous post, but I thought there might be a miracle.
Please contact me through e-mail at: chinchaste@yahoo.com
or at AOL MESSENGER @ CHINCHASTE
I also have a phone number I can provide if anyone is really interested in helping me.
learn to walk before you can run.
and try to come up with something original. copying something that nearly everyone who uses the internet has heard of and trying to beat them at it.. its not going to happen unless you can do something better, faster, cooler, cheaper.
you have to remember that most myspace users arent the sharpest tools in the shed. its popular with people who don't know much about the internet - basically the unwashed masses. pretty much everyone's myspace page i've been linked to has made my browser cry. do i want to her linkin park and see pictures of someone being emo and taking pictures of themselves from stupid angles while pulling stupid faces?

Unless you're a big company aready like Microsoft, AOL, Cox, etc, trying to compete with myspace seems like a waste of time.
First, you guys are taking the wrong direction towards competing with it. Mypsace is not popular due to programmers developing the site, but it's popular in large due to its marketing team. The key is MARKETING! At car shows filled with young adults, I see a myspace sign. At any event like concerts, I see a myspace sign. Myspace is feature in many computer magazines. Fox bought myspace.com It's popular through mass advertisements - not for the site itself.
If you want to compete with myspace be sure to spent a lot of money on advertisement. What's something innovate can you bring to your new social networking site? It must be new and unique feature. It has to be innovative. Something no other site provides. Even if you can do that, how will they even know about your website?
This has been done before with ratemypic.com it got popular and soon there were copy cats. What made the rest different?

I can do a site like myspace and do it pretty quickly. I can provide examples of sites I have done before including extensive coding in PHP, database backends etc. BUT...
As the others said, you're probably wasting your time. But, again, marketed correctly it would be possible (especially given some of the myspace security flaws recently). Friendster was around before Myspace... Metacrawler dominated before Google. Webcrawler before Metacrawler. So things CAN change. BUT (again!)...
This is gonna cost you. I personally wouldn't budge on a project like this until the fee offered was in the thousands. Neither would any of the other coders around here (I doubt).
Think that's bad? To take out myspace will cost you a LOT more.
Cheers,
SC
