Social networks derive their value from their size. $2.5 per year per user may not be much, but if you have just 1000 users, that is already $2500 per year. 100000 users is a quarter of a million per year. Are you going to pay for that out of pocket?

It takes money to run a social network of meaningful size in even just a halfway professional manner. Who would do that while receiving nothing in return?




Design the network physically distributed on the users computers.
