Niche Video Networks

The New York Times has an article today about Next New Networks.

Next New Networks, a New York-based Internet start-up run and backed by former executives of MTV and Nickelodeon, will announce plans today to begin a series of video-oriented Web sites — what the company calls micro-networks — on niche topics like do-it-yourself fashion, comic books, car racing and cartoons.

We think there will be plenty more of these types of companies evolving in the coming months and years. Niche content will sprout across the Net, fulfilling every little bit of human interest.

That’s why we believe in Scouta. We aim to recommend these niche “networks” to people, if they happen to fall into their range of interests or taste.
