Potters tend to work in isolation, making it difficult for beginners to learn and get feedback on their projects. Pottery Basics gives potters an outlet for sharing and support. And, beyond that, it's become an active and inviting place where potters around the world can connect on a social level.

Brewster10509 has changed suburban politics in this town. When our town newspaper went away, we had no way to share information about school budgets, ordinances, and events. Now you can stand up, state your name, and say your piece on any issue. It's like a virtual town meeting, every day of the year.

Gaming Addiction is happening all over the world and affects thousands of households. WOW_Widow allows people to vent their frustration, as well as discuss coping techniques, and strategies for dealing with the addict. A lot of people who have been addicted to gaming have seen the light and have realized how much their addiction is affecting their loved ones, and they've actually quit playing World of Warcraft (the game our group is focused on). That is a VERY positive thing.

We began the Kingdom of Strollerland as a place for our Loyal Subjects to swap, buy, and sell the objects of our passion--namely strollers. Our cutting edge reviews of the hottest and hippest buggies have attracted an international following. We now have a community of everyone from vintage pram collectors, to military wives, to first time bewildered parents. All are welcome on Strollerswap!

My mom's parents were separated and divorced when she was very young. The kids never saw each other again. That is until Yahoo! Groups enabled us to locate family all over the country and bring everyone together. It all came down to a posting in a Yahoo! Group and a subsequent Yahoo! search! So simple, yet it took over 20 years to accomplish!
