It wont be very complex in terms of computing. Storage and bandwidth will be an issue because it's basically an image sharing site on steroids (various media types (gifs, short videos, text) interactive posts, some real-time twitter like feed & comments). I've had a look at Diaspora [0] and ViralJS [1], a P2P CDN and I think I might go down that route. Do you have any suggestions? 0: https://diasporafoundation.org 1: https://github.com/PixelsCommander/ViralJS
