I don’t know exactly why I find this so very mind-blowing, but just now, as I was setting up some friend lists on Facebook, I saw an add for GYNite, a new gay social network… The reason it blew my mind is that it’s just a ning someone set up, that they’re clearly making enough ad revenue off of to justify paying for adspace on Fbook to generate even more ad revenue for themselves. WHAT A CRAZY ECONOMY. Also: is this the future? People being lured away from Facebook and other social networks tied specifically to your real world connections back toward the communities-of-interest that started the whole trend?
