While Facebook still dominates social networking, and LinkedIn/Plaxo for the professional world, as the excitement of social networking peters off (which may not be for a while) we’ll see Facebook slowly fade out, and niche sites slowly take over (though not as noticeably)
If you look closely, a lot of niche sites are already established. However these sites are driven by interests, not mass appeal, so unless you stumble across one, or hear about it from someone else, you may never find them.
One I found today that I’m already in love with is Group Recipes. It’s social networking for foodies and I love it for a few reasons:
- It’s all about sharing recipes - something foodies love to do!
- It allows you to not only share, but tag, rate and post your own recipes for a killer online recipe database.
- When you sign up, you rate a bunch of different ingredients/food types to determine your tastes, that way the content you see is relevant to you.
I think Group Recipes will do well in the ‘foodie’ space. What niche SN sites do you love??
