One of the unique abilities of the social network is that users can build communites with common interests right within the existing network. (orkut communities/groups and Facebook neworks/groups)

More so they can do this, without having to learn a new interface, create another account or visit another site.

The other plus point of the bigger focus networks is that when you tire with a particluar interest, its really easy to move to another. Tired of developers and want to see what the music folks are doing, switch to a new group/community on the same site.

I find it hard to understand how these niche social webs will grow.

If exclusivity is your main selling point, how do you grow without losing that very plus point?

If common interests is your main selling point, how do you compete with the broad focussed networks?

Thank you for your comment. I’ve fixed the sentence to better reflect my intention.

I doubt if SysInclude intends to compete with LinkedIn for the exact same audience.
