Is experience or skill more important when creating a web startup? | Hacker News

Sounds like these guys have no experience in growing a social networking site/hiring programmers 1) A social networking site doesn't just grow on its own. Ask them how they intend to seed the userbase and what metrics they intend to monitor to optimize viral growth 2) You'll probably rewrite the thing anyway, so being fast and knowing what you are doing and why is more important. 3) What will these guys do when the product is being built. Ie how will they acquire users and what incentives do people have to invite more users. Sound like these guys have no experience whatsoever.
