niche social networking
Written on July 30, 2007 – 1:58 pm | by erniec
Social networking is evolving as sites catering to niches begin to come online. If MySpace doesn’t work for you there might be a niche network out there. My wife is a knitter and now a beta member of Ravelry - “a knit and crochet community“. While I don’t knit myself, this is a great example of what a social networking niche can do. All types of knitters are using this site (currently about 4000 beta testers) with 1000s (around 7) waiting to join. On the education front take a look at Classroom 2.0, a social networking site for classroom teachers interested in educational technology integration - particularly 2.0 tech. Library 2.0 is the the same idea for library land.
