Have you ever noticed how as soon as something is brought to your attention, you suddenly start to notice it everywhere? First it was idealist.org, then it was Twitter and now I'm finding it impossible to ignore all of the many online social networking sites out there! While I don't have anything ground-breaking to say here, I just wanted to share a couple other finds with you all.
First, a fellow PR student with a huge heart, Bryna from Streams of Hope recently brought a site called TED.com to my attention. She's pretty excited about the place so I just had to check it out and now I absolutely see why! TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design) started as a conference back in '84 and has since morphed into a hub for the sharing of amazing ideas. When you join in, you can begin discussing the various TEDtalks (with subject matter ranging from technology to art and pretty much everything inbetween) and begin meeting people of like mind. It seems like there's something for pretty much everyone on TED!
The second link is one I found pretty much by accident. Wetpaint is a site that essentially allows you to create a social website on whatever it is you're passionate about. From there you can add applications like wikis, forums or your own blogs to your site.
There are SO many ways to start networking online, it's really incredible! I just wanted to share a couple more. Enjoy!

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm so glad you like TED.org. It's pretty fantastic. Speaking of these types of sites...Squidoo.com is the brainshild of Seth Godin, my current guru of all things PR/integrated marketing. I haven't fully investigated, but it's an interesting concept. His blog is great too if you have a chance you should google him.
