I don’t know if they’re dead, but I do believe that many people would prefer to hang with a smaller group who are more like them, rather than a big crowd with so many disparate interests. It’s definitely much easier to connect with folks when you have a shared interest, or a shared objective, whether it’s online or in person.
Read about The Most Exclusive Social Networks in the current issue of Inside Innovation, which includes a site for creative types (Behance), catwalk types (ModelsHotel) and covert types (A-Space), the last of which I mentioned in an earlier post a few months ago “Spies Can Now Network, What’s Your Excuse?”
I completely agree with you Liz!
Meeting and talking with people who have the same like-minded interests as you makes networking fun!
Its all about targeting the right market!
