Thing #19: Other Social Networks

Well I was actually surprised to see that I was a member of two of the groups listed here: Craftster and Lastfm.
I love craftster, it's a great way for people to share their latest crafty ventures and receive feedback and advice. It can be anything from sewing, jewelry, soap-making to home decorating. I've found lots of ideas and inspiration for new projects here. Plus it's just fun to see some of the crazy things people can think up and produce.
Lastfm, not such a big fan of. A friend coerced me into joining and I probably logged in a total of 3 times after that. It seems pretty much like myspace only you're stalking people based on their musical preferences. Too weird and a little lame for me.
I do however favor these more specialized social networking sites over the standard myspace/facebook which to me just end up feeling like an online high school yearbook (complete with bad pictures). These others are a great way to share ideas and opinions about specific subjects you're interested in and meet new people who have the same freaky hobbies as you.
