There are a ton of communities not being acquired by a large company that are thriving today: <a href="http://deviantart.com" rel="nofollow">deviantart.com</a>, <a href="http://threadless.com" rel="nofollow">threadless.com</a>, <a href="http://dogster.com" rel="nofollow">dogster.com</a>, <a href="http://suicidegirls.com" rel="nofollow">suicidegirls.com</a> and tons more. The reason we don\'t hear about them is we are not involved in them. The main stream ones which make big bucks are what most people hear about.<br><br>There are tons of viable business models besides ads:<br><br>1- Social Capital/Gifting: Let people through the use of money give to one another virutal goods.<br><br>2- Recommended products and services through a community portal.<br><br>3- Membership fees to be a part of a community like <a href="http://meetup.com" rel="nofollow">meetup.com</a><br><br>4- Community donated. This will not bring significant revenue but at least makes the site sustainable like wikipedia. <br><br>There are tons more...

The obvious core strength of vertical social networks is the tighter, more intimate community.  Yet the very nature of a niche also limits the network effects needed to remain sustainable.<br><br>It seems to me that face-to-face interaction isn\'t that important anymore.  Dogster and Daily Strength users are fine with virtual interaction only.<br><br>If thats the case, social networks seem like nothing more than Forum 2.0</div>\

Some communities are built from a face-to-face group wanting to have an online presence. Whereas, Daily Strength\'s success is from the anonymity they provide online. <br><br>I don\'t think niche limits the network effects, I just think it reduces it to a smaller exponential growth and that saturation will happen sooner. <br><br>Social Networks are definitely a derivative of forums and just provide an easier way to express yourself and communicate with others beyond just a message board.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-14671035" class="dsq-comment-message">That seems paradoxical to me - anonymity versus more ways for self-expression.  <br><br>Seems to me forum software can very easily convert itself into a social network.  Forum members already have their own pages (aka profiles), mailboxes (aka private messaging), and a photo (aka avatar).  Let them add each other as friends and presto, social network!<br><br>So I think the niche social networks that will thrive have to either:<br><br>1) Center around an affinity where there is not a good forum already (looks like Dailystrength is taking that approach)<br><br>2) Provide a level of online interaction for a community dynamic that is not content with a simple message board.  This is where face-to-face interaction is key IMHO...<br><br>Just my 2 cents from the social network that will remain unmentioned by The Noah :)</div>\
