Real Growth potential in "Niche Social networks”
February 21st, 2008
Today BBC has an article about Facebook’s declining users.
Users fell 5% to 8.5 million in January from 8.9 million in December, according to data from Nielsen Online.
Rightly it doesn’t mean its the end of Facebook, its just a slump in 3 big social networks: Facebook, Myspace and Bebo. What I’m more interested is in what Alex Burmaster, European internet analyst at Nielsen Online had to say:
“However, real growth potential lies in the niche networks - those based on a particular lifestyle or interest, such as travel, music, wealth or business”
Smaller social networks like Windows Live Space, BBC Communities and Friend Reunited saw a rise in Jan 2008.
