Where are blog networks headed?

By Barry Bell on October 18 2005

Yaro hits the nail on the head with regards to the future of blog networks with this post.

A much smarter strategy would be to bring together bloggers around a single industry or topic area. The competition in most areas simply doesn’t exist yet. There may be individual blogs on almost any topic you can think of, but there are no coordinated blog network hubs broken down by niches. An entrepreneur could choose a lucrative demographic and either bring together or purchase the current blogs covering that area into a new network or start from scratch, hire bloggers and start brand new blogs for a brand new network. “

Any of that sound familiar to wurk.net readers? If anyone else is involved in creating a similar vertical-based network of blogs, I’d like to start building a list of them. It’s definitely a concept that could also go the distance, and something that’s starting to break the normal ‘gadgetblog/cellphoneblog/autoblog” network mould.

Be interesting to see what comes next…

    I am working on a sports network – but it’ll be sports from the point of view of the participant. I’ll let you know when it goes live
