    There was an interesting comment on TechCrunch a few weeks back about Yahoo's attempt to buy Facebook, and how that could allow Yahoo to hit the VSN market with a bunch of niche social networks like Yahoo! Geeks, Yahoo! Surfers, Yahoo! Jugglers.

    Though I would agree that there are more startups focusing on niches these days.
  • jawadshuaib, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone know of any new startups aiming for the generic markets? I did some research but couldn't find one. There doesn't seem to be a YouTube or MySpace emerging anymore. Everything seems to be pointing towards an upcoming wave of niche startups.
