[…] I found this wonderful post about Gay Social Networks today on Techcrunch. The post itself is pretty neutral, no negative feelings, in fact there are a few positive dashes in it. I don’t think I’ll be signing up for any of the networks anytime soon (I’m not too into the whole social network thing, other than MySpace, mainly because of friends, but I am keeping my eye on QueensSpeech.com), but I think the coverage is great nonetheless.

You should check out http://www.muvas.com. They offer social networking by lifestyles so you can meet gay/lesbian/bi people as well as anything from artists, musicians etc. It’s good to have niche sites just for one interest but that only limits what the site can offer. On Muvas you can meet people based on over 50 different lifestyles, for whatever reason you want and you can add pics, write blogs and share music. http://www.muvas.com

[…] There are some interesting developments coming out of the gay community in terms of online social software. It’s about time, after Gayday and Gay.com which are unimaginative (thanks to techcrunch for the link) As you can see by the following short profiles, these sites targeting a demographic with two traits in common (gay men) are all very different. Just as there’s a wide diversity of gay men in the world, there may well be ample room for a variety of gay male social networking sites - presuming they are able to build sufficient critical mass for monetization and financial viability […]

There is another new social networking site that is based on different lifestyles and they have a listing for “GAY/LESBIAN/BI.” Seems like a cool site where you can meet people from all over the place. http://www.muvas.com

[…] While free online dating sites offer a real bargain in search for connection and access to romance and friendship, other services are also worth their membership fee. In his blog posted at techcrunch.com, Marshall Kirkpatrick cited that Jake is among the widest online community for gay people. […]

I think manjam is doing something great by allowing people to actually network via their personal profile. many of these sites are just sex hookup sites and are really boring.

check out these great profiles and why they are different:

ozmarky has video and actually talks about himself instead of wanking! great profile!
http://www.manjam.com/ozmarky

goldenboy uses his profile to network for Business and has a Resume:

wolfsblue is using his profile to network his accommodation in palm spings:

Have you tried BigJock.com? It is local, US-based and live. Pretty cool and seems to be working out the kinks. They have a news headlines section, not sure what this will be, but says Coming This Week.

[…] Niche social sites, as confirmed by Marshall Kirkpatrick in his blog at techcrunch.com, also have the most potential to satisfy the growing market because of its quality and standards for screening. It would actually make sense if people would rather join or be a member of a specific community. Online dating niche sites are now more popular than ever and with the inclusion of promos for winning an iPod, there is surely more to come.

Major kudos to TechCrunch for publishing this. I am also impressed with the commenters, most of whom are pretty mature about it, rather than promising to leave TechCrunch forever.

[…] We’ve covered the best new dating sites, and even the most popular gay male dating sites, here on TechCrunch. But none of these sites capture the speed and simplicity of speed dating, where you meet a bunch of potential mates in a short period of time. South Africa-based dating site YesNoMayB nailed it. […]

I think Patricia has it right, even over time, the crowd at myspace will soon need to grow up and go to work. They are skilled at social networking, but need to find new clothes.. where will they go?

Thank you for saying this:

Niche social networks are likely a viable business because they allow specialized functionality and a subjective community feel as opposed to general interest sites that defer to either the lowest common denominator or the 15-25 year old demographic. Many people want to participate in social networks, but many people prefer networks set up for people they can relate to. That makes sense to me.

I think it’s hard to migrate business and people minds off of MySpace right now, as it’s been where a lot of people have cut their teeth on interactive communities, but I own a niche site, participate in a lot of niche communities, and it’s just not for everybody. I said this to an exec at MySpace not long ago - he said, “we have the eyeballs”. and I said, “yea, but not everybody wants your client”.

i think it’s comments like this that explain why I said that - and why niche sites need to thrive!
