Directory of Social Networks, Research Buzz (Oct 1)
Tara Calishain discovered a Directory of Social Networks which she used in combination with Google Sets to get more of the same.
"Some of the sites listed here are not what I would consider full social networks in a Facebook or MySpace sense; instead they’re gathering places or tools that focus on a particular communication aspect or type of multimedia. While I found these listings useful I found them even better as a jumping off point for another place, Google Sets."
Tara used cats - we can use Health - find Nurse Linkup and Organized Wisdom - and enter these at Google Sets - use words, not domains - and get other online community web sites.
Clever way to use a directory as a base for finding more.
Social.com itself is of uneven quality. Furl.net is listed under bookmarking but is long gone, and several categories are very thing.
