social networking websites and online communities

As I blog about how to start a social network, owners and prospective owners of social networking websites and online communities have reached out and engaged me in conversation, either on this blog or through SCORE Chicago.  Today I decided to set up a post with my social networking website “friends.”

Initial Social Networking Websites and Online Communities:

CheekyChicago, an online magazine for, by and about women of Chicago.

Millennial Living, your online home remodeling community.

OddPodz, a resource and social network for emerging start-ups, small businesses and creative-minded entrepreneurs looking for ways to grow their ideas and enterprises into sustainable ventures.

The Legal Balance, a social networking website for women attorneys.

The Local Tourist, a community for all things Chicago

TV on Media Community, a community for fans of TV Shows On DVD and other media formats.
