I am always perplexed when someone wants to build a site just like Facebook, or just like Myspace. Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just make a splash page with a link to the Facebook.com join form, or just use a permanent redirect to myspace.com?

Whatever happen to originality? Everybody want to be just like facebook. How would you advertise a facebook clone site. Would your ad slogan say, "We're just like Facebook, except we hardly have any members"? Sorry..... I just don't see more get it.
