Social Networking For a City

saurav121 posted 9th of April 2011 in Community Voice. 6 comments.

Hello all, I want to launch a social network for my city where i live. I already own a dolphin site for a professional network but

not earning anythin out of it but still i hope to make money in future using this community.

Now the city in india in which i live has a population of 2 million. The biggest fb page of the city has 21000 likes. 68% literacy rate and is a capital of a state.

Do you think it's a good idea to work on this project !!

How many of you are running a city based social network ?

Personally, I believe this is the best application for Dolphin and is exactly the way we envision it to be used.

I'd first make sure there is some actual interest from people in your city before even starting work on the site.

Actually, there is a very clever way of doing this and interlinking local businesses and getting them involved as well.

For starters, go ahead and set up your domain, set up a survey on that domain to gather data on interest on the startup and ask what features your users would want. After all, they are the ones who would use it, you want it to be what they want it to be, not what you want.

Open up paint.net , gimp, photoshop or whatever your design choice is and design a flyer. Find a cheap see more

I also think this is a good idea. I knew a woman here who did one for a town in the California mountains much smaller than yours and had some good success. A few other people here have sites for bigger cities. Newspapers are already in the grave - community sites will take their place. It is ridiculous to say you should wait till you know their is "actual interest" - there is no way to know that until you build it.
