In there any hope for innovation and competition in social media?

I hate Facebook, yet there are no true alternatives that serve the same purpose. MySpace is defunct. LinkedIn is work-centric. Twitter is more useful for following celebrities than actually connecting with people. Snapchat, Instagram, Pintetest, and Tumblr are primarily photo-sharing sites. It's like hating your cable company, but no other company serves your area.

  • I see you didn't mention Google+. That's OK, I wouldn't mention Google+, either. Except I just did.

    The question is, what are you looking for in a social networking site that is not fulfilled by the existing popular choices?

    Then, start it up! :)
