Comment on Why Facebook can't match Ravelry, the social network for knitters.

Comments

If you have the slightest interest in online communities and social networking I strongly recommend that you sign-up for a Ravelry account and see what the fuss is about. It's truly inspiring how well-designed the community is with its knitting specific features and fun interface. If more communities took the Ravelry approach to social networking Facebook wouldn't have a chance.

I agree. Back in 2008 when I was planning a social site for robotics, I registered and poked around on Ravelry. Even back then it was on fire.

They raised $70,000 dollars in DONATIONS from their members in order to do some growth back them. That's insane.
