So many social communities…
I’m a member of Mybloglogs. Im also a member over at Explode. All these social websites are getting kindof hard to keep up with.
Which ones do I spend time in building a community of friends? which ones do I display love on my blog? Technorati (fav me please), Myspace, Bebo?
I recently joined Others Online, which is a little different than most Social Community sites. Its actually ran from a toolbar more so than a Website. Its also location based. That way you can limit who shows up in your Others Online toolbar by their distance from you.
The new thing that social sites are doing is trying to put people together by matching "tags" or interests, which I think is good. If I put in interest or tags such as "computers" or "internet" in Explode, my interest becomes links and when clicked, everyone else that has those same tags will show up.
The best thing about these social community websites are that you find out about other interesting websites and blogs while spending your time cruising the different profiles.

Hi David, thx for joining Others Online and checking it out. We’re just about to launch publicly our widget — just wondering if you’re interested in being the first on your block to implement, before we make it public? It will show people by tags and there are are few styles to choose from. It’s at http://www.othersonline.com/widgets/wizards/.
Would love to hear your thoughts on it, as well as on our service.

Cool, I was wondering if there was going to be a web based widget. as you can see, I put the widget on the site, so far so good.

There too many social communities… But what about niche communities? I can’t find really good ones in women issues… Do you know any? I’ll be really thankful if you share some links.
