As the numbers of online communities grow, it becomes more and more confusing to select which one(s) will be best for you. Linqia can help.
The site catalogues thousands of online communities and allows you to search their database using keywords or a select number of categories. Categories range from arts to women, and a whole plethora of sites in between. If you know what type of community you are more specifically interested in, you can enter a keyword- such as “travel”- and dozens of relevant sites, their descriptions, and using ratings will appear. Linqia also has a filter option (by language, categories, country of origin) that makes the results more tailored to your needs.

Some Questions About Linqia.com
Because there are so many groups, does Linqia plan to highlight some of the editor’s choice picks? It would be cool to spotlight a “community of the week.”
