Right now, social networks are intensifying their strategies. The key is specialization. Niche networks.
Before, big networks like myspace and facebook swallowed chunks of users, just like Walmart swallowed the low-end consumer market.
That’s not the end of the story though. The specialized stores thrive because they offer more selection on the exact department that some customers need. Walmart’s hardware department pales in comparison to that of Home Depot or Lowes. The same effect will happen in social networks.
Collabotrade is ideally positioned because its platform is just like Walmart’s,”store within a store concept.” Networks within networks. It makes niche networking fast and easy and trustworthy. It’s the fractalization of the web. LK
