Do you want to set up a Twitter or Facebook clone? Sure you do.
Here’s a (slightly dated) listing of ready-to-go and open source microblogging services, primarily written in PHP, but there’s one also for ASP: 9 Open Source Microblogging Applications. Some even have accompanying mobile applications, also open source. I’m quite certain they are as good as or better than Twitter. That’s the easy part. Getting millions of users is the not so easy part.
If you want to make a Facebook clone, you can come rather close with e.g. Ning, that is free but with ads, that even has Facebook-like applications. There are also commercial products, like from Agriya, etc.
