Links and Networking

I want to create a social networking site for Christian teenagers, but I have no idea how. Help?

Ask Jesus until he gives you one.

I am planning to create social networking website like facebook.
Please any one tell me if I hire freelancers or professional companies, how much do they charge?
Give rough idea for both of them.
Also, If I hire web developers from India or China, how much it will cost me?

From India, if you hire an outsource company, expect to pay $8 to 10 per hour.
If you hire an individual from India, expect to pay $4 to $6 per hour.
Expect it to take twice as long and be half as good. I have no experience with IT from China, but I can tell you that if my experience from India IT is any clue, the people that do web design for outsource companies in India get about $4/hr and if they were in America, they would still only be worth $4/hr. (I warned you)

Expect to pay anyone in the USA $2000+ depending on features. This is a "getting started" price for basic Facebook functionality.
Expect that coming close to what you get from Facebook will take a very long time and probably cost over $6000++ when the details are finished.
You could easily pay over $50,000 depending on who you hire and what the project details are.

Hello im conducting a study about social networking.

Basically i just want to know:

1. How has Social Networking changed your life?

2. What is the Main Social Networking Site that you primarily Use and Why?

facebook. its a general setup you can add more pictures and say more unlike twitter
its actually kind of a burden, you know way more then you should/want to about people.

I am building a social networking site and I would like to have some ideas as to what people really want in a social networking site. All responses are very much appreciated.

Friends, groups, quickchat, photos, photo tagging.

I am about to graduate with my Associates Degree in Networking and am taking my CCNA next week. I was also planning on getting Network+, Security+, MCITP. Are these good and are there any others I should definitely get? Also, is A+ beneficial for the networking field? Thanks.

A+ is a good one to have under your belt in general. You might consider also placing this question in the http://www.certguard.com forums as they have very knowledgable IT pros that can help you. You are right on track with the ones you are planning on getting, a little surprised you are starting with the CCNA though as that is considered more advanced than Sec or Net+. You may also want to sample some free practice exams to help you from http://www.knowledgebuster.com

Multi-Media and techonlogy have become prevalent in our society. How has technology like social networking sites like "facebook" affect communication with your family and friends? Has is been a hinderance or advantage to your life?

Both.

Hindrance:
No one seems to want to meet in person anymore to talk because there are things such as FB, Skype, MyYearbook, and things such as that.

Advantage:
Easy connection with people that you haven’t talked to in a while. You merely have to type in a person’s name and can typically find them on one of the social networking sites that you frequent, meaning that if you lose someone’s number or address, you can still keep in touch.

So, I work for an office and we are a "home office" with no real networking going on, we don’t use wireless internet, we hook it up with a cable and we all have different modems going on so we can’t network, we’re kinda behind times.

Anywho, we wanted to connect two computers to one printer. I heard using a hub would be a good idea but then I heard that it doesn’t work that way. Any ideas?

There is a switch designed for just such an application available at good computer stores. I used one for years quite successuflly.

I just want to create a social networking site, one where it is different than Twitter or Facebook. I just want to create one for my school, to help us connect more differently.

Where would I even begin?

You can start by reading up on HTML and such but it is very complicated to do that

I am doing a research paper on social networking and its NEGATIVE impact on our nation’s youth today. Does anyone have a good theory to "what if social networking sites never existed/happened"? It would be a great closing to my conclusion!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, and if you used a website please include the sites underneath your answer so that i can add more supportive details.

If you want it to be really dramatic you could talk about people that would still be alive if social networking sites didn’t exist due to online bullying. I’m sure you could find some stories on google.

How is networking scope in the IT industry? Is the demand of networking professionals is increasing rapidly or it has become slow? Do the networking professionals need to update their skills every-time when the course is updated. Is there any institute which provides training for life time who has completed the course previously in their institute when the course is changed or updated?

Networking has become must in today’s world, learning networking courses is always plus point for your career. Professionals have to update their skills time by time when there are developments in the courses. IIHT Vadapalani provides life time training on update of courses.
