They allow linke-minded individuals connect and collaborate with each other, leading to more productive and fulfilling relationships.<BR/><BR/>Also this appeals to advertisers as they can target their advertising spend.<BR/><BR/>Niche social networks are springing up for a whole variety of interests, industries and localities.

When we had our idea to launch a social network for outdoor enthusiasts about a year ago the market was non-existent. Now there are a few small networks like ours. It will be interesting to see how the small power struggles play out in each of these niches. They won't be played out in the media so much like the Myspaces of the past few years. I think they will be played out on the home pc's of the users.Wadehttp://outdoorzy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939740.post-77625956144436229922007-03-21T18:31:00.000Z2007-03-21T18:31:00.000ZI say, it's about time!
