My boss asked our IT team including me to ask people around who knew how the animal like FACEBOOK works.
Our company is planning to do a “Facebook-type” for Investors (Investors’ Facebook). It will be a one of its kind or first of its kind. Because we wanted trading investors to have an exclusive place where they can do everything like Facebook – trade, play games, member’s profile, meet people from the financial community, etc.
If I can ask your feedback or others who would be interested in this project. Basically, as an initial effort, I can meet experts in a meeting to discuss the possibility of this site.
The first thing we want to do is to gauge first the possibility of building the site, what software to use for the website development, requirements and all of these stuff. Information derived from this meeting will be used to develop the proposal we are going to submit to our boss.
As a requirement, we initially identified personnel needs as follows:
* Site Developers
o Programmers – 3
o Graphic Artists – 2
o Copywriter – 1 (more)
o Systems Administrators (future) – 1
o Internet Marketer – 1
The first meeting will be a virtual one. In case you are or anyone you know who might be interested in this project, maybe can participate in the chat conference I am planning to organize for next week. Since I am on the night shift maybe the online chat conference will start by 9 pm either on Sept 1 (Tues) or Sept 2 (Wed). Please tell me if it would be good to use YAHOO or SKYPE.
You may contact me through the email add – joftivillena@gmail.com, text (09217941407) or chat (YM: jofti / Skype: joftithesofty), in case you wish to join. I’ll be preparing a supporting paper so that you may understand what we really need and a set of questions for the participants.
As a requirement, we need experienced or knowledgeable people to join the conference.
To ensure I received your confirmation, please email, text or PM (chat) me.
Thanks. Looking forward for your reply.
Guys, what I am asking is for your confirmation to a possible chat conference. There are a lot of questions I need to ask IT experts or those who know how to do a website. By the way, the website is non-existent yet. As I told you, we are gauging the possibility of the site we are thinking. You will learn more about the project, when you confirm your participation in the conference.
We are in need of those who are advanced website developers. Thanks.
iDK WHAT YOU ARE ASKING BUTY face book is just games and talking to friends?!?!?!?
well i am not so sure if i am as expert as you are looking for, but i would be happy to go through your site and point out things that could be improved and how I would do it… email me @ don’t send it to my yahoo one, i never check it anymore
700 employees and getting sued on the source code
Face book is just a social community website. There are many social community softwares available in the market . Jive is one such software.
Its definitely not an install , configure and done kind of activity.
I’m not sure if you have identified detailed requirements that you have come up with the list of people you need. Also the list of people, is missing a key role, which is the architect. You would definety need can architect, who can look into your requirements and so an feasibility analysis to find the product which best suits your needs and requirements. He will also be responsible for designing the solution and oversee the development ( done by programmers).
Not having a software architect for a IT solution is like building a home with out plan or with construction workers..
Cheers and all the best
reach out to me on in case you need more clarification
