We all need to relax and gain a sense that we’re part of a society of other human beings. All work and no play … When you’re faced with a bowl of lemons, with so many responsibilities and no time for out and out partying, it’s time to make lemonade! Maybe this is one reason the many online communities have become the defacto gathering place for socializing. Instead of making an evening of it, we get online and go to one of the forums or chat rooms for a half hour of de-stressing with our online community friends. Whereas ten years ago, we’d give a friend a call after dinner to catch up on the latest gossip, online communities are accessible 24/7.
