A basic social network clone? Sure, maybe a day. But to emulate all the features Facebook has would probably take well over a month if done alone, even if the dev was very experienced with Rails.

Well over a month to clone all of facebook. I hope you don't estimate as a living. To clone facebook would take well over a year.

Ten years I say! Building facebook would take ten years, no less!

Fellas. The answer is clearly 100 years. Some of you will burn out, some of you will get divorced, but in the end, you'll have a shitty facebook.
