How Innovation Develops Among Individuals in Niche Social Networks In the current digital arena, social networks have touched the lives of almost every human being on earth, allowing us to share life's novelties with friends and loved ones. However, social networks are not restricted to sharing and commenting on pictures, but giving rise to innovation among individuals to help make our world a better place. Social networks in the form of crowdfunding sites allow individuals to give wings to their innovative ideas for a new startup. Many online communities have also been set up to find innovative solutions for existing challenges such as: global warming, energy consumption, agriculture, space science, etc.
What kind of social networks are driving innovation? Sites such as Facebook and Twitter have already become immensely popular for setting up robust platforms for online communities and many enterprises are using them as an effective medium to innovate. However, today there are very good examples of social networks where niche communities not only find work, but also hire a development team, innovate their business, and collaborate from different corners of the world. For example:
• Online project management tools from tech ventures such as FindNerd provide an android developer forum where tech people ideate and resolve queries as quickly as possible
• Someone with a brilliant, innovative idea for a new mobile or web app can learn app development through social networks
• DoctorsHangout.com is an online community for medical experts • Niche social networks and communities for video gamers such as Gamurs.com enable sharing of brand new ideas of the next frontiers of video games.
