Yes and no.

The systems we think of when we talk about social network do depend on having a
critical mass of users to be relevant, or they will fall back into obscurity as
far as the public eye is concerned. However, a system does not need to be
popular to be useful.

As I have said elsewhere, I don't care if the IRC server I host in my closet is
popular or not if my three friends happen to be there.
