Hopefully, initiatives like OpenSocial will eventually allow users to mix-and-match their favorite social networks without having to deal with recreating contact lists and repetitive postings. I've blogged about this issue (in Spanish) at http://technosailor.com/2007/11/06/networks-sociales-portatiles-hacia-la-web-30/ Nice post.

People originally searched for individual terms (golf), and eventually learned to search for more specific terms (Michigan golf courses), thus the value in the long tail. The same thing is happening here. Personally, I'm glad to see it. Seems to be a natural progression.

It is a single network of over 100 niche sites. People join the network once, and then pick the sites they want in their account. This allows them to surround themselves with people they share something in common with, in a wide variety of communities. Examples include: http://www.nativeamericanpassions.com , http://www.adventurepassions.com , http://www.gamingpassions.com , http://www.bodybuilderpassions.com , http://www.truckerpassions.com & http://www.trekpassions.com . There is one interface for managing an account, so it's pretty easy for an individual to interact across a large number of sites simultaneously, but only in the ones that match their 'passions' in life.

Sometimes you can gain a lot more with tight groups than you can with general groups. Bigger definitely isn’t always better, especially in social networking.
