Steve Nash’s New Social Networking Site
Steve Nash is in the process of promoting his newest business, a social networking website for athletes. Unfortunately for him, I don’t think his project will be a hit.
This was taken from his Twitter feed this morning:
“on the road in nyc promoting my great new sports social networking platform designed to make you better. check it out: www.makeitpro.com”
After some exploring, it is indeed a nicely designed social networking website but it is practically a Facebook replica. The site doesn’t bring anything that Facebook doesn’t or can’t provide for its users besides the network being targeted towards athletes. I can’t see this website becoming a success unless Nash could get all of his athlete friends to sign up and make an account.
Even with a beg from Nash, I don’t see that happening as most athletes who use the internet are already on Twitter which is the simplest social networking platform available. Everyone would love to be the brains behind the next Facebook or Twitter, but not many ever will.
Do you guys have any ideas for the next hit social networking website?

Ain’tmykid.com … perfect for athletes trying to get together and figure out if the baby is really theirs. No baby mommas allowed. It can provide forums where athletes can discuss topics ranging from “that bitch knows it ain’t mine” to “I don’t even remember boning that chick”.

…Unfortunately for Jeff Chen, I don’t think his columns will be any hits…When I read Dime columns I read the article first before I look who wrote it so I am unbiased towards the contents. JC, take this as constructive aight? Keep chugging, maybe one day…

LMAO. Might be slow season for BBall but it’s open season on JC?
The reason most dudes do the socializing and networking thing is because it is one more way for us to find a way to get fuckin laid.

Good call shi!tfaced!
Can Nash’s website allow me to go onto a girls profile and specifically look for Spring Break photo albums so I might be able to get a nice bikini pic?

Nice one, Simon. Exactly what I had in mind.
Just came from one of those university off campus bars myself so I’m a bit buzzed and so into college girls right now. LOL.

It just needs to be set up in a state or country where you don’t have to worry about getting in trouble with the law even if the chics are barely 18. LOL.

I also have a social networking site but it’s for swapping games, movies, bball stuff, anything really. Check it out at http://www.commuto.com.
Maybe I need to hit up Nash as my partner to get some free publicity.

Twitter’s good, facebook’s good… but I disagree with you Jeff; for folks who are passionate about certain things niche social marketing is the way to go. I think Steve Nash’s site http://www.makeitpro.com is well done and offers alot of information to those passionate about sports that they could not find in the general social networking sites.
