Most of us groan or just close our ears when we hear about another social networking site being launched, as we usually won’t even remember the name before it goes out of business almost immediately; if it launches at all. But a new social networking site from AppBoy for mobile app users may meet a need that allows it to have a solid social networking niche presence and success for a long time to come.

What the new community from AppBoy essentially offers is a place for mobile app developers and mobile entrepreneurs to interact with one another and get essential feeback from fellow AppBoy citizens.

For developers they are given the option of creating a profile on AppBoy which can include a custom or vanity URL at Appboy.com/<your username>, which they can display their App portfolio. They can also receive feeback from the community through either suggestions or an included voting system which will rank their work.

Also included is compensation via bonuses for mobile app ideas offered as well as a revenue sharing model. You are compensated based upon the feedback the community gives to your app idea.

From an entrepreneurial point of view, this has a lot of potential, as any app idea you have now has a place where you can share in the profits and get it implemented to the benefit of everybody.

And it probably goes without saying that a great app can make a lot of money for someone very quickly.

With the targeted niche and same-mindedness of a community that is always looking for cool apps, this could really eliminate a lot of time and generate tons of ideas and money by getting involved and interacting with others of similar interests.

This is pretty much the future of social media and social networking now, and those who offer up these niche communities should do very well, along with those who participate.
