Witness the rise of niche social networks, where hamster enthusiasts, mustache lovers, even lonely farmers can find kindred spirits to commune (and sometimes sleep) with. Want to post photos of yourself in zombie makeup to an appreciative audience? Are you obsessed with making predictions -- about just about anything? Read on to find a site for people just like you.

This kinda confirm my suspicioun that SN is peaking and starting to drill down into niches.

I believe the growth is in NICHE Social Networking for the next 1-2 years. The big SN's space is crowded and as the spaces become corrupt with users, users will seek out more narrowly defined spaces.

Like a SN for RE investors.
A SN for Harley Riders.
A SN for Affiliate Marketers.

As a slight tangent, it amazes me that a website (FastCompany which is really a magazine) can write an article about 10 websites and not put any links in the article.

Maybe they don't understand the difference between the web and a print magazine? LOL.
