I saw that most of the facebook applications are developed on php so i also want to create a social networking application so i wanna know which language is suitable for social networking application PHP or .NET

I guess it would all come down to preferences and what system you intend it to be run on, for example, Linux or Windows.

Usually they are developed in Php with a MySQL Backend.

Most people use PHP as it's syntax is more of a C++ code where as ASP and ASP.NET are much more like pseudocode or Visual Basics in a matter of speaking.

I personally use PHP as I have never quite grasped the concept of ASP /.net

Some use ASP .NET, but most people use PHP/MySQL

ASP.Net is technology. You can use C#, c++(managet), Visual basics. :beer:
If you use Windows I will recommend to ASP.NET.
If you use Unix I will recommend to PHP.
