These niche social media sites are great because they focus on the content you are after. The homepage will be filled with specific content rather then a general hodgepodge of every type of category. Some of the sites listed below have huge amounts of traffic, and others are just starting out and look promising.

Design Float

Design Float is community controlled content for design. This site has grown tremendously since I first started visiting it sometime ago. By becoming part of the Design Float community, you decide what content is submitted and made popular. The community relies on its members to provide relevant content and rate each entry through “Floats” so that the best and most relevant entries float their way to the top.
