Online Communities
By peace | July 6, 2007
What prompted me to write this article? SLTopsites.com. SLTopsites.com is an example of an online community. A community to gather all Second Life ‘residents’ with websites, whether they are doing business or for personal interest.
Like any other communities, we join a community to have friends and have more fun and possibly get to know more people. Where internet is concerned, of course you want people to come to your website. Joining a community like directories listing would serve this purpose.
Found this topic at Helium, and this SLTopsites Targeted Conspiracy and SLTopsites Woes and ‘Juicy News‘ has prompted me to write about this topic:
Online communities and the benefits they provide
There are more online communities being develop of recent. There are various communities of different forms. There are the blogging communities, the listing directories communities, the video group of communities — YouTube, Fliptrack, etc. The blogging communities for instance have Mybloglog, Myblogcatalog and MySpace etc. In the game Second Life, various communities are formed too, for the purpose of social gathering. Directories which list all related categories of websites together are communities too.
Why are there so many communities? What are their benefits? Those communities which I went to are those which I mention above. Joining communities such as Mybloglog or Myblogcatalog, enable you to search for similar interest blogs and user easily. There are chat boxes for easier communication too. Message can be public or private. So it serves multipurpose. For people who want to ‘advertise’ their link or websites, they left a message in our chat box. We can add different user as friends or contacts. We can join any communities which is of interest to you too.
As for blog or website directories, it serves the same purpose. But it is portray in a different form. It list out all the blogs in sequence with ranking. There are categories to classify them as well. Not only does this directories facilitate information seekers to find facts and read blogs of interest to them, using ranking will help to motivate the bloggers or website owners. Bloggers or website owners will want to improve themselves on ways to climb up the ranking. In such a way, they will find ways to improvise on their blogs regularly. These would result in better quality blogs and websites to be ‘enjoyed’ by readers.
All these means that networking is so much simplier, effective and fun. If put to good use, online communities is suppose to bring more traffic, to add in more fun and joy to surfing on the internet, to know more people around you and thereby promoting your website, your business, or even marketing yourself, depending on your purpose. It is a place which you can disseminate useful information to similar interest people faster and more effectively and it is a place where you always find friends who are of similar interest to you. Anytime you have problems or questions pertaining to anything, you can seek a good Samaritan to help you.

The start of the ‘fire’. I am advertising her site for free in this sense! I should not have done that! Nope. This is not what I am thinking. You can visit her. The blog is here for you to read. Anyone who do not like to read, don’t have to read. Anyone who want to visit her site, please do so. There is no need to hurt anyone nor be envious of people who are MAKING MONEY. If online making money is so good and anyone would wish to have this kind of lifestyle, give up your job, experience the taste of online making money yourself. If online making money is that great, why are so many motivational speakers and so many online money making ebooks products.
This incident got to the ‘ugliness’ of human being. There is no unity, no love, no helping one another. There is verbal stabbing of one victim here. Someone started the fire. Onlookers see the fire, find it interesting. They pour fuel to the fire. There is no one who would stop the fire on passing by. Even fire that is left alone would ultimately be extinguished. However, this fire is left to burn even more furiously by passers-by and the intriguers.
People used harsh words and remarks to hurt other people. They are trying to gain prestige in so doing, at the expense of hurting other people. Not a chance was spared even though the victim offer to explained with sincerity. It was considered lame to these arrogant people.
There are not many people who are as rich as some people. There are many things which what you see and what you hear may not be true. Must anyone do such a thing to hurt the feelings of so many people? They might have think it is only the victim’s affair. But nobody is an island in this world. The victim has family members who love him and who do not wish to see him being hurt. Give people a chance to grow. Give people a chance to learn from mistake if he really had.
