I don't have the first idea of how to write code nor the time or money that is required to do it..I want to know what is the biggest factor stopping the next platform of social media being developed to take on Facebook? It seems like Zuckerberg has the whole pie

Who knows? It may even be out there already - nobody expected Farcebook or Twatter to grow the way it did, but it could collapse tomorrow and join the hundreds of other "next big thing"s that have disappeared over the years. Personally, I wouldn't miss either of 'em... :laugh:

Nothing to do with programming. Imagine that you have a super talented and super energetic hacker friend that can implement it all at home during the the evenings. Your problem is now, how do you grow that website? The problem goes beyond programming. Facebook was first at the right time. New site will have it much harder....

To succeed, all you gotta do is not become so self-righteous as to assume you can correctly identify "fake news", or impose your own sense of morals on your users.

I would, if there was a way to administer electric shocks when the user posts something really stupid. Which would be most of Farcebook and Twatter... :laugh:

One problem is that you can never accurately predict which application will meet with success.

Facebook
Actually, it was severalth. Remember MySpace, Friendster, Six Degrees, Live Journal, etc? And that's not to mention "communities", like the ones set up by companies like AOL and Compuserve, or Usenet. IMO, facebook is probably the final step too far, in that it goes further than most people actually want; and "social" networking will move toward being far more restricted and "private" -- except, of course, for marketers/advertisers, attention whores, and others with nothing of value to "share".

The social media wave has passed - it's all about antisocial networks these days.

Not sure if you remember... but nearly every single media news organization was advertising for Facebook when they appeared on the scene... even many international news organizations. Remember that tiny little Facebook logo on CNN, FOX, CBS and just about every news organization? Even more amazing that this was occurring years before they were publicly traded and had very little capital. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

One of the big things stopping a competitor from arising is that whenever a social network threatens to become popular, Facebook likes to step in and buy them. And by social network, I don't mean things that look and much like Facebook. I mean things that people start to use instead of Facebook. They bought Instagram and Whatsapp because many people were starting to use Instagram for sharing photos instead of FB, and were using Whatsapp instead of Facebook Messenger. To be fair, the Whatsapp acquisition was also about extending Facebook's reach, since it's available on many feature phones where FB Messenger isn't an option. Facebook isn't likely to disappear, but the risk comes from companies like Snapchat who siphon away the age 15-25 crowd. I think Mark Zuckerberg's worst nightmare would a scenario where all the young people have abandoned ship for a newer and cooler social network, and FB ends up being an echo chamber of old people grumping about politics, posting fake news, and sharing pictures of their cats. I'll admit that I mostly use FB for sharing pictures of my cat these days, so I'm probably part of the problem. :)

It might be fun to do as an intellectual exercise, but can you imagine supporting it? I'd probably be shopping for machetes and machine guns, within a week.

Facebook has momentum. Back then, Zuckerberg just got licky. No, really, he just managed to fill the gap that the duying Myspace, Uboot and what else they're all called left. Right now, you have to convince existing FB users to switch to your platform and that's pretty impossible due to the laziness of human nature. One social network, ok. Two of them, what for?
