The number of social networking websites continues to expand. The trend that started with sites like Friendster, which helps people connected with each other through online profiles, has expanded to include niche sites like Dogster, which helps dog owners connect online. As writenews.com reports in its article on social networking, the trend is definitely booming and sites like MySpace.com, Friendster and Friendzy are generating large traffic numbers. However, it is still not clear if this will lead to revenues or if it fall short of expectations like the online communities trend a couple years ago.
