Social Network for College
Well, I'm new to the world of web app development and currently learning basics of the same. As doing a real-time project and taking it to completion is the best way to practise out things, will creating a social network for my college be of help wrt that?

I've the following doubts:
   
   a)In the FaceBook dominated era, will a personalised social network be appealing to my campus community having over 5500 students? It will feature localised things pertaining to everyday happenings of college. Not only daily updates, it'll be a pool to discuss ideas and comment on the plethora of campus events.

b)Secondly, how useful will it to be START with this as a learning process.
