A recent survey by the web security site Sophos found that 60% of Facebook users have considered leaving the service over privacy concerns. While that certainly doesn’t mean people will actually quit the site, it does illustrate a general, growing dissatisfaction user’s have over the amount of control they can wield on sites like Facebook. And a small but growing number of people (and businesses) are turning to their own, custom social networking solutions. But how do you build your own social networking site?
