requirements for a social networking android app

i am planning to make an android app for social networking with at most user base of 10000. with almost the full-fledged feature of a social networking site So estimating the maximum concurrent users to be 1000,please help in the following points

  1. whether MYSql will work fine or should i use MYSql with hadoop?

  2. whether i should go with Amazon EC2 or a shared hosting account of GoDaddy.com is sufficient?

because I am unable to estimate the complexity and scalabiity of the project

Solution

    1. If you are asking if you should use Hadoop, i suspect you have no idea what its for. In your case, likely not.

    2. Shared hosting probably wont be enough. But this depends on factors that are impossible to estimate without a lot more information.
