Here are the list of features I am expecting. When desiging the datbase and site please do it in a way so if we want newer features in the future, its easier to develop a module and plug in, without having to redesign the whole site. 1. Directory structure that is search engine spider. Search engine spiders should be able to spider every single profile. So that we can be indexed on top for organic searches. 2. Photo rating. (similar or [login to view URL] ) 3. Private user-to-user messaging (users will not know other users email address. Email addresses will be kept private. How ever users will get an email alert if they have a new message waiting. ) 4. Photo upload ( user should only be able to upload jpeg and gif images. All photos will be auto sized. We should also include file size restrictions to avoid users from uploading large images. All images will be approved by the admin before being posted to public. 5. Web based administration. Ad delete users, edit profiles, block IPs, domains, and email addresses. 6. Personal filters, users can set filters so they can choose from what type of people they want to receive messages from. For example a female can choose to receive messages only from straight, single male, between 20 to 30, living in San Jose, ca, USA. (sexual preference, marital status, gender, age, city, state, country ) [login to view URL] optimized database design, able to support least 500,000 users. [login to view URL] integration. I will be also be running a forum where users can interact with other members as a whole. We can use BBB script or other popular forum script for this. Users should be able to use the same user name and password in the forum along with their profile. [login to view URL] 9. Ad engine, ability to show Google adsense ads through out the website like how [login to view URL] has it. Banner ads will be managed via admin interface. 10. 2 way matching. If a user clicks on another users profile and say he/she is interested in him, and the second user will get and alert. If they user accepts their invitation then they will be able to share their private contacts. I plan on allowing the users to choose the IM of their choice. Yahoo, MSN, Skype, AOL or Googletalk all allowed. Private information of a user will only be shared with the other if they both match 2way. My main goal is to have a site with a user-friendly interface, easy to search and talk. site should be able to scale with high volume users. interacting at the same time. I am open to ASP/MS SQL 2000 system or PHP/MySQL based system. Scalability and security are primary concern. How ever PHP/MySQL is cheaper for us to host than windows.
