Why join online communities?

How many forums, message boards, chatrooms etc are you a member of? What attracted you to them? I am doing an assignment on the importance of online communities in todays society. All answers gratefully accepted!

Why join online communities?
I am a member of HI5. I joined because a friend sent me an email inviting me to join and I thought I'd check it out. It's amazing to see how many people I know that are on there. I found people that I knew from years ago and we were able to catch up which was pretty cool. You can make friends and keep in touch with people that you may not be able to otherwise.

attraction (2)





(1) yahoo (2) basic e-mail functions





(1) msn (2) it comes standard with windows and has instant messaging unlike e-mail





(1) myspace (2) a girl i met asked me to join but then never spoke o me.





(1) skype (2) i like the stability of its mic and cam functions, and you can search for other skype users.





(1) yahoo answers (2) i already had a yahoo email account and they had a physics section





(1) bebo (2) it was popular in my college so i checked it out.





there are a few others that where so temporary i have forgotten them,


so far my fav is skype but its search ability is limited and making your own profile is quite limited too.
