While we generally hear about the larger social networking sites such as Friendster, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Facebook, many more niche sites exist. In fact, there is probably a niche social networking site for every profession. Below are 10 niche sites that I came across:
Designed exclusively for dentists, dental students, hygienists, assistants, practice managers, dental schools and state & local associations.
Designed exclusively for nursing professionals and nursing students seeking to connect and network with their peers.
Place where all jewelers can connect with each other and promote their business.
Social network for the legal profession, allowing lawyers to setup profiles, make connections, and join groups.
Dedicated social professional network designed specifically for the marketing communications industry.
Online community where physicians around the nation exchange the latest medical insights with each other and improve patient outcomes - 24/7.
Site for real estate agents, loan officers, staggers, and others have a place to talk about the industry, network, and share ideas on how to better serve our clients.
Social networking website designed specifically for educators.

Destination for investors to collaborate and compete using virtual portfolios and real-life brokerage. simulations.
