Niche Networking

The Nexus of Niche

Can't find your niche amid MySpace and its millions? Navigate over to Ning. Co-founded in 2004 by Gina Bianchini (pictured) and Marc Andreessen of Netscape fame, Ning lets users build their own social networks, around virtually any topic. The site hosts more than 260,000 different social networks, including Wakefirst, for wakeboarders, and Tu Diabetes, a community of people with diabetes. There's even an official David Hasselhoff social network. About 1,500 new networks are added daily.
