Niche social networks stay small and serve only those who want to be there.

Facebook may have 1.23 billion daily active users, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. From mind games to mind controlnot to mention racist uncles and chatty high school acquaintances there are plenty of reasons to be wary of the huge social network.

Check them out and maybe you'll find the perfect one for you.
