It was neat- kinda like myspace- with chat and graphics and little 'gatherings' all in an online community- and it just dissappeared... what happened to it? It was years ago... but i always wondered, but i can never find anything on it.
Does anyone Remember FireFly (the web community) ?

Webhound recommends just World Wide Web pages, but the same basic approach could help people find a variety of communities, products, and services that are likely to match their tastes. For example, Webhound grew out of the Helpful Online Music Recommendation Service (HOMR), which recommends musical artists. A subscriber to this service--recently renamed Firefly-- first rates a few dozen musical groups on a scale from "the best" to "pass the earplugs"; Firefly searches its database for people who have similar tastes, and uses their list of favorites to recommend other artists that might appeal to you. The same technique could recommend Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other information sources. Tell it that you like to read the Usenet group "rec.arts.startrek.info," and it might recommend "alt.tv.babylon-5"--people who like one tend to like the other. While no such tool yet exists for Usenet, the concept would be straightforward to implement.

Reply:The above answer looks great! I wonder how that site would do in the face of MySpace, Friendster, and Yahoo 360?
Don't vote for this answer. Second answer added to bring question to a vote.
