Niche Social News Sites for Business People and Internet Pros

While old school “one size fits all” social sites like Facebook lose more and more ground,

great niche social news sites thrive in many industries.

Here are niche social news sites business people and Internet pros should be aware of.

BizSugar
This is a site a few of the social news power users I know from elsewhere spend much time at. I like it very much.

LogoSauce
LogoSauce is a site that has a very specific purpose and succeeds at it. Both logo designers and businesses looking for a logo find what they need.

As more and more people, especially serious

business people and Internet pros stop using Facebook

they look for alternatives. They find more specific niche social sites like the above.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been a Bizsugar fan for a while and just discoverd Tip’d. Logosauce and Design Bump look very interesting.

Thanks for sharing. I’m always on the lookout for new web 2.0 sites. Actually, I’m glad I came across this site because there is a lot of great stuff here. Might have to spend some time here. :)

Jerry: You’re welcome, I really like bizSugar, especially the neat logo.

@ the others: No faux flattery will make me accept spammy links and keywords as “names”. They will either get deleted or edited.

I came across this site (still in beta):
http://www.plaxo.com/

Never heard of it before today, but it seems more like a social ‘portal’ to me.

EarnersClub and LogoSauce looks very promising. A lot of old good quality content which I never knew is at EarnersClub.

I’ve been a subscriber to Tip’d for a few months now and it has become my number one news source fr business information. I recommend it for anyone looking to save time collecting info on business.
