Dad Daily – social site just for dads

Dad Daily has launched recently as a special site for dads. Mashable reviews Dad Daily…”began a preview mode today, is a social network for dads founded by tax attorney and dad of two Art Giacosa. The site is still in the early stages, they say, and the feature set is very similar to the original version of MySpace – there are blogs, classifieds, events, groups, chat, photo rating, search, music, videos, a forum and a place to share parenting stories. You can also send messages to other users and see their online/offline status. Users have profile pages, too, of course.”

Some of the feature set does seem a little standard, I am yet to find out if this site was developed IP from scratch or IP from a social site creator that allows you an “instant social networking site” for a small payment. It seems for success, the ability to handle scale (1 million plus users benchmark) with the tech as well as a unique user experience and functionality is critical, there is your value (which ever way you define value – money or members). In my opinion what makes any site unique, is something on offer ‘above and beyond’ the standard set of features myspace created as must haves. I must say though, it is refreshing to see that dads aren’t left to their own social networking devices.

Dads are a driver in providing the tech devices in the home for mom/kids and have passions to be catered for and their own unique ways of networking socially.

What I believe Dad Daily may like to consider is the passions that dads revel in such areas as sport, news, hobbies and somehow link this into Dad Daily contributing to the site being a “Cool place for Dads” not just a networking place for dads that linkedin provides currently.
