Thing 21 - Other Social Networks

I didn't play around too much on the Ning site. It seems pretty focused on Library 2.0 info. So I checked out Gather a bit. The article was interesting in terms of the way Gather is trying to carve out a niche for writers/publishers.

Carving out a niche is an interesting concept. One one hand it makes sense for social networks to be specific to interest. However, if everyone's joining different social networks, how will we all find each other??!! :)

As I've mentioned a few times before, I am a member of Shelari. I love it and use it often and as a way of connecting with a pretty wide range of friends.
