Community Guy: Social networks get find their niche

  • Mack Collier · 3 years ago
    "I've been saying for a while that the future of social networking isn't in larger, mass-appeal sites but in smaller, niche sites."


    I agree. I think we needed the larger MySpace type sites to introduce the concept to everyone, and then have the interest migrate toward just meeting people with common interests.

    The future is in ACCOUNTABLE small networks where the you KNOW where information originates, as the problem of 'today's Internet' is he amount of clutter generated by systems designed to make AdSense revenue.

    Niche social networks are a welcome addition to the web. Because they are more narrowly focused, they are better able to serve the needs of their community.

    The large generic social networks like Facebook and Myspace are great for keeping in touch with friends, but small social networks offer much more - people just like you who share your same passions.

    Qnahealth is a new social network for health related information and support. It's designed to be friendly and easy to use and is focused around users asking and answering questions and sharing their experiences and knowledge.

    We invite everyone to take a look as they explore their online health information options.
