More and more niche social networks are being created everyday and not just on Ning. The biggest problem I see is finding the one relevant to you. If social networks are to become like TV channels, then a web TV Guide will be required. Google is inefficient when searching for social networks as alot of irrelevant results are returned, The best resource I have come across is http://findasocialnetwork.com

Your former employer AOL has opened up its content to all, ending the walled garden. Good idea?
They needed to do that back in the '90s. I was surprised when [CEO] Jon Miller got fired, because from what I could tell, he was working really hard to do the best anybody could do in that circumstance.
When you were pioneering the Web in the early '90s, did you intuit that something like social network might emerge?
No, no, no. It was totally unclear. If you think of every form of network or media that's ever existed—television, radio, railroads, telegraph, newspapers, magazines, all the big networks or media—the function's been fixed in hardware for what they can be. So the telephone's made for making phone calls, the telegraph is for Morse code, and so on. The Internet's all about software. It can be a newspaper, a magazine, a movie theater or a TV network. The reality is, it's all those things. The big thing that people have done with it is that people have used it as a medium for self-expression, for finding like-minded people, and for connecting and doing all kinds of things with them.
