web 2.0

A new generation of net-savvy denizens is doing away with the drudgery of geography and finding unique ways to socialise. But online communities are not just about meeting and mating, they are becoming melting pots of views, information, ideas and contacts for just about every subject.Music communities are some of the more popular communities, as people with similar tastes tune in and recommend new music to each other. IndianGuitarTabs.com, one such site, is a popular haunt for South East Asian music enthusiasts.Following in the footsteps of international networking sites are specialised Indian community engines. Fropper and Minglebox, social networking forums, have grown exponentially since their launch, as has Yo4Ya.com, a new entrant in the Indian youth networking space.
