Social networking websites have been a major part of online communities for some time. MySpace and Facebook get a lot of media attention in print and television media, however, there are many other online communities that are out there. A couple of new platforms that I have become involved in: Spicy Page and My Blog Log are the most notable to me.
A recent project by an adventurous blogger has caught my attention, 2000 bloggers
by Tino – a link building blogger.
“I wanted to bring a whole bunch of bloggers together on one page. 2000 bloggers to be exact! As I write this there are 300 bloggers on the page to start.”
Blogging, at it’s root, is a form of socialization on the Internet, but the building of communities have taken precedence over the vertical communication of blogging.
What are you doing to build your social community around your website?
What does the communities that you belong to say about you and your website?
I would like to invite you to join my communities in MyBlogLog and Spicy Page, and share the communities that you belong to and what they are about in the comment area. If you value something, let others know. Here is the place.
I look forward to seeing the shared communities.
Note: I will remove comments from communities that are not “kid friendly” (please no cursing or exotic photography). Thanks

LinkedIn has become a fairly popular business networking community that I’ve received a lot of value from.
Thanks Lee,
LinkedIn has become the online networking community that has many offline techniques. It gives people a place to find more information about a prospective client or employee.
It can be extremely valuable, and I would suggest that if you are wanting to get involved in LinkedIn, keep it professional.
