I have come across a couple of interesting sites lately. One combines photos and community, the other music and community. The first, Flickr has a ton of very cool pictures taken by amateur and semi-professional photographers. It's more about sharing your photos and letting people comment on them than it is about ordering prints, so the irritation factor is very low. Send me an email if you want to see my pictures.

Audioscrobbler (a site badly in need of a better name) is a great music site. It uploads a list of what you listen to and then refines a profile of you so that the database can offer you recommendations. You can browse what other people with similar tastes listen to on their computer and iPod. To see my statistics, go here.
