In recent months; sites such as Facebox, Facebook, Hi5, etc have come to prominence. Although most of them have been around for longer, it has only been recently that they have boomed.



Of course it all started with the mother of them all - MYSPACE.COM where you could have your own webpage for the price of an email address and the rest as they say is history.
Now I have been a member of many different virtual/online communities for a number of years now, mostly topic communities though, like Gaming, Development, Anime and comic comunities to name a few. But now my friends have found these sites and are now imploring me to join, which I don't really have a problem with, its just that its an effort to keep those sort of things up-to-date. I mean look at my blog, is there no better example!
Besides the whole idea of posting your picture on the internet is not that appealing to me, if you need any motivation look at my avatar, that clearly ain't me.
By the way has anybody noticed that I changed my avatar, I am now a Green Lantern. To see my previous avatar, refer to my earlier posts (way back...).
Back on topic... and then there is the even more difficult choice of which community to join, because everyone is never all on the same one - Why!? They all do the same thing. The least they could do is just join the one which the first guy did, but NO they don't even do that! Everybody wants to be there own person, stupid INDIVIDUALS.

I know what you mean Jo. I think i am a member of at least twon of those communities. I can't remember which ones. I am starting to use my facebook? one more often. I think it's quite useful for keeping up to date with people.
If microsoft and those other people start online communities all it will is destroy the internet forever and life will never be the same.
Congrats on two articles in two days. Its a wonder you don't post more considering all your free time
