People like me aren't like me

[andrewducker]

I was delighted to discover that similar interest matching was working again (if you're a paid member).

Fantastic, I thought. I quick click there will find me loads of people like me.

Dammit, my interests aren't specific enough. The people like me aren't like me! Or maybe my interests don't actually represent me.

I'm gonna play around with my interests and see who I can find.

A Community of what? Alt.fan.andrewducker?

Naah, things are actually going fairly well. I just had inflated hopes for the 'similar interests' link, which didn't pan out. Not actually a problem, just something to whine about.

A community of what interests you. If the existing discssion groups aren't doing it for you, maybe they're not working for like-minded people.

Look at socksarefun In three weeks, it's up to over a hundred members, with a dozen posts a day about socks. Socks.

So start a discussion group, with a charterbased on your interests. Find people. Go on, get on with it. It's Tuesday, there's not much going on.

You're possibly right

Except about the 'nothing much going on' bit. You wouldn't believe how many problems I've had so far this morning.
