It seems like at least once a week I hear about some new social networking site that is going to be the “next big thing”. Reality check – most of them aren’t. Still, these site fill a nice for some folks, allowing them to link with old friends or meet new ones. And let’s not kid ourselves -- social network sites (SNSs) such as MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, and Bebo have millions of active users, many of whom have made the sites an integral part of their daily lives. How’s that for a business model?

What makes social network sites unique is that lwet peole publicly associate with others and make their interactions known to so many other people. These connections are often related to their daily lives as a part of their “real world” social networks, but can extend well-beyond that. Just through my blogging, I’ve found friends in my field from around the country – fellow educators with whom I have a bond even though we have never met face to face. And I know that my wife, with her disability issues, has linked into a network of others who deal with similar issues.

That brings me to the latest SNS to cross my path, 3GB Communities. This social networking links people according to a variety of factors, including sex, interests, birthday, hobbies, favorites, and other such criteria. The site allows users to share their personal interests via music, pictures, and chat services.
So if you are looking for another SNS, why not join 3gb community www.3gb.biz? They seem to have the potential to be the next big thing in social networking – so why not be the opinion leader who brings in all your friends this time?
