For me, the best presentation I attended so far. Really inspiring!

Thanks guys - slides are up here now: http://www.slideshare.net/leebryant/niche-social-networks-ftw-presentation

Nice examples, but nothing more IMHO. I hoped to find some do's and don'ts, some concrete insights on how it can be done the right way. There were some, but they were rather obvious while I think there is a lot more knowledge shareable, especially by Lee who is an expert in this field. Maybe in a next speech, since Lee can speech very well :)

You're right Bart. Time really only allowed for a brief dive into each, but as you say, maybe next time I can cover a single example in depth. The main message of the session was just to ask the smart people here to focus on niche social networks around interesting communities of people rather than chase pretend money in the mass market networks that still dominate the field. Thanks for the feedback!

Fantastic presentation, that really opened my eyes as to the potential and real value of social networking sites. Would have been nice to hear more about features and design decisions that varied among the case studies, but the time allotted was well filled with valuable stuff. This session has changed how I see some of the work I do.

The best presentation of the conference. Lee is a fantastic speaker, an expert on the topic and a rich, entertaining presentation with loads of examples. Thanks Lee!
