Crafty Nation Debuts at CHA Chicago
Posted by Connie Reece on July 21, 2020 at 1:43 am
Yesterday friends Jim Long and Toni Lyn launched the beta version of Crafty Nation, a new social network for crafters, at the giant Craft & Hobby Association trade show in Chicago.
Online video is in the process of altering our television viewing habits. In a recent post Jim, a veteran videographer and self-described “new media micro mogul,” wrote that social networks are becoming the New Television. “Social networks, empowering core constituencies of passionate users around targeted, niche market content, are emerging as a powerful media marketforce.”
If you’re interested in making or finding beautiful handcrafts, or if you want to see some excellent video samples of niche market content, give CraftyNation.com a visit. Here’s a short (1:30) clip from their video blog of opening day at CHA. (I chose this one, of course, because it features a shout-out to me. What can I say? I’m shameless.)
Note: RSS readers may need to click through to the site to view video.

Hey Connie, this might be giving away one of my 8 random things (but I’ll use it anyway), I fancy myself a bit of a crafter, too. It’s good exercise to keep the typing fingers nimble. Thanks to you, I’ve joined Crafty Nation; don’t know what I’ll do there yet, but I’m part of it.
