In this activity I learned that there are other social network sites besides facebook and myspace. Facebook and Linked In were the only two online communities are that I was a member of before this activity. I am now a member of Gather, Ning and Teacher Pop..
On Ning I really like the Classroom 2.0 and The Future of Education. I also like how with Ning you can create your own site for others to follow.
Gather is interesting; it feels that it is geared towards older adults. It allows you to choose an interest and to choose an age group of people who you would like to share your interest with. It is more than just a social network site, allowing you to publish work and to comment on work published.
I think Teacher Pop is neat, and it allows everyone from the class a place to share information they have learned as we learn new things in school and as we all venture out and start teaching. I added the Teacher pop badge to my facebook and to my blog.
Another new site that I found that I like is flixster http://www.flixster.com/ . I love watching movies but I really do not like sitting through bad movies, so I like how on this site there are lot of movie reviews from different people. If someone is looking to make new friends then going to a site where you can look for someone who also is going to have the same interest, can make it easier to make new friends online.
There are so many different social gathering sites that it would be impossible to follow all of them, but it is nice to have so many choices.
