My Discourse Communities

Discourse communities are groups of people that share interests or goals and usually communicate with one another. This doesn't have to be a dedicated website because it could also just be an email list that you subscribe to. I belong to quite a few discourse communities. Engadget is a website I comment on and many people visit for news, opinions, and full on review of the latest and greatest in gadgetry and technology. I subscribe to emails from national organizations that are supposed to help me get connected to others. I subscribe to work emails that constantly update me on issues and I update them on issues too. I am part of the Apple Discussions page when people need help. I do a pretty good job on helping people there and have many posts. I don't just stay on Apple's official one, but stray over to MacRumors or AppleInsider to help people on their Apple computers. I hardly have to do anything though, they hardly have issues.
