Internet and About my Intersts in Social Media Web Sites

Well after trying to count how many site there are on Wikipedia, there is more than 100 for sure because it was too hard to count them all. When I think about it a little more, that is not right. There are TONS more sites. Granted these might have the most traffic, but when you look at car forum alone, there is seriously a social networking forum for most makes and most models of cars. Its perplexing to me how that isn't a social networking site since you  find other like you, who own the same car or have things in common about car, them to talk about the good, the bad, how to fix your car, or how to make them better, and to make social gatherings or have relations online about your car. Even business is part of this site, where people open up virtual shops and share movies and video about how their own cars perform or of friends and of their friends.

But for sites that I do know, there are quite a few. The main ones that I know is Facebook, Myspace, Xanga, Google Buzz, Friendster, Twitter, Tumblr; ok that is enough because I know allot and do you really need to know? I know all of these and more to keep up with friends and family. But as trends go, you go to what is more refined, user friendly, and has most features and that by far goes to Facebook for having a very intuitive web service. Secondly would have to be a website that I log on everyday for my car called 9thgencorolla.com, a website dedicated to the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla. We talk about everything since we are one of the most active car groups for economy cars bringing many sub channels in the "off topic section" for anything other than cars. Seriously check it out, become a member or accept the terms of our site and be wow'ed by what we happen to talk about. By far with thousands of members across the world and even more in terms of traffic reaching more than 10 thousand viewers every day at times for a day.

9thgen also has been one of the neatest sites that has helped me though my life. For one it gave me my friends. In highschool I had friends that came to school, and left when it was over. Some of these indaviduals leaving for good never to say a word because we moved on with out lives and let it happen mutually. However with 9thgen, I have over 5 solid friends that I meet often and help out with business and spending time to hang out and enjoy life with many more that meet to congregate at our gatherings in the Bay Area chapter of our community. So many infact are here that we created a club called BAC, Bay Area Corolla, that has united with over 5 other toyota car clubs for gatherings, fundraiders, and shows in multiple cities. If you like to check out a car meet, check out the Northen California section for meets and local deals!

Seriously, nice stuff we do year after year. Check it out
