- HeDiggMe, on 06/26/2008, -4/+2Yeah, saw this coming. Like they just released a twitter for sports - ingamenow. I think the next few years just sort out who becomes the defacto social site for whatever your interest--or it gets bought and just becomes an app on facebook.
- hugoguzman, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1This is a logical next step. Sort of like when niche forums started to sprout up (after the rush of large generic forums)

- Haoie, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1As noted, in additional to the usual big players in social networking, there are many smaller social groups for specific interests, or particular locations.
- rykos, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1This is a "no *****" situation. If you didn't know this was coming since the start of MySpace please get off the intarweb.

and i thought second life was lame... - benologist, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1Social media has always been niche, even Facebook with its tens of millions of users interests less than 10% of internet users.
- moneydick, on 06/27/2008, -1/+0it's been 'going niche' for the last 5 years
- UrinalPooper, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1"X-Factor style"? So you log in and 900 copies of Jamie Madrox automatically befriend you?
- flashback99, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1It started of niche, became big and now goes back to being niche. Like EVERY ***** trend in the world!
buried. - armix, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0Sorry for this kind of spam. I don't know how Alex Tew managed to get such a big traffic to his milliondollarhomepage.com but I will try to do that with my idea - www.buckcounter.com.
BTW every 150Th visitor realy pays 1$. Idea is working, but very slowly, for now.
