I think niche social networking is going to be a pretty big thing, and it's starting to extend well beyond the "blogging, marketing, seo, technology" niches that were the first to develop. I think the eDrugSearch.com site is well put together given that it's focusing on a wider - and often non-tech-savvy - audience. Very easy to use and intuitive, with solid results. I'm curious to see how much the community aspect develops over time, at the moment it strikes me as a bit lightweight. On the wider note, definitely agree with the concluding point about the fact that great startups can come from anywhere. There's less reasons for Silicon Valley or anywhere else to act as a hub for internet related startups that have no real need for a geographical basis.
