Use what ever you know. I would use Asp.Net because that is what I'm proficient at.

I definately would not use classic ASP though if I was going to program it or support it.

My web developers strength is classic ASP. Could you please explain why you would NOT use this language to code a social networking site?

You can use ASP, but ASP.NET has allot of performance benefits that you might want to look into i.e. data level caching, etc.

Because .Net is an easier technology to write good code for more complex operations...It has been out since what 2001....ASP will be around for a long time...but almost any programmer that has switched from ASP to .Net will tell you they don't want to go back.
