And for others, people who enjoy those niches are probably not the kind of people who would enjoy RSVC type of environment anyway. Can you imagine a social RSVC site on knitting, for example, being successful? I think that may be my own biases as well, but I wonder if I'm very far off.

I've seen a lot of Read Submit Vote Comment style startups and none of them managed to amount to anything.
