Niche networks are popping out everywhere. There's a new craft social networking site (not to sure if it can be class as social networking) call DesignsTolove (http://www.designstolove.com) that looks pretty cool.
Can anybody guess whats the next best niche to target?
I will have to contact Pete about taking a look at Bordee, since it has to do with the most basic web form of social networking: the message board.

I estimate we are only seeing the very first wave of passion-centric web communities. For most every usenet newsgroup or popular web forums that ever existed, I expect to see one (or five) dedicated modern-style online communities, many of which that will be able to cover their expenses or find real financial success if they don't overspend too early and aren't too small a focus.
Check out faniq.com too. I think they've already got a good fan community site going. I'm also curious if the NHL's out-of-the-box community will be good enough to reflect fans passions simply because NHL.com will give it an immediate network effect (which is often good enough ;)

That is a great round up.
I just want to point out that NBC came out of the blocks not two weeks ago saying that they're turning iVillage into their equivilant of myspace and find ways to grow it to a billion dollar ad engine.
We're hoping that when you start with community at your core you're going to do a better job at serving your communities needs...

Thanks for the mention! One particularly cool feature I would like to highlight is that Broadtexter solves the problem of sending REGIONALIZED text messages to fans...RIGHT FROM A CELL PHONE (because sometimes an artist just can't get to a computer between gigs). Broadtexter’s unique regional text alert feature gives musicians tremendous power when it comes to touring and promotion. Enabling bands to remind fans in a specific area about a specific show the day-of a show has had proven results that our users have truly praised us for. Thanks! - The Broadtexter Team
