You will need:

* A server-side scripting language, such as PHP or ASP
* A database, such as MySQL
* Javascript
* HTML & CSS
* A lot of patience

Do you want to create just a facebook application or a whole social network?

If it is the latter you should check out Dolphin, a free and open source social networking platform that you could build upon.

Dolphin 7 Beta looks amazingly cool.

No, if it only meant that, then it wouldn't be confusing enough!

Supposedly, there is an animal that uses the same moniker as well lol.
