What I find difficult is finding communities, groups, etc where I can actually meet and network with people.

Most forums are on-topic discussion only. The people that add me on skype are only there for the money, to promote their stuff to me.

Though I must admit, I've barely used FaceBook, LinkedIn and know that some people got their own 'chatroom' on skype. Though never found the details or know how it works...

Anybody got any pointers?
