Jay's Chalkboard Notes:
- Ask yourself: Why would someone use MY social network?
- Understand if a social network is just a tool for your unique idea
- Test the virility of a prototype to spread amongst users/friends
- Can you get your users to be your sales people
- Your core plan will dictate who you hire and steps beyond that
- Draw people in through notifications
- Most social networks depend on advertising and engagement
- You must be on mobile
