I have a great idea for a social networking site and would like to know what is the best way to go about doing it. This would be a side project for me since I have a full time job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#3Is your concept so different you need a new system? Or could you piggy back off Facebook/Twitter and use their social graph API's?

My idea is a social network for competitive gamers. The way I imagine it is sort of like a linkedin for pro-gamers. If the social graph API's allow me to build something like that I would be more than happy to use them. Do you think those API's would help in building something like what I described?
