I admit that I never really understood what all the fuss was about regarding social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter etc.

I didn't grow up with computers and mobile phones. If I wanted to find out about something then the library was my first destination. Nowadays, I use a computer daily and depend on it for all sorts of things.

Now that I've started to learn Esperanto, the Internet, and social networking sites in particular, are proving to be amazing resources.

Where I live there are few Esperantists in the locality and they meet infrequently. I hope to attend the next meeting in March, but what can I do to interact with practising Esperantists in the meantime?

Well, it seems that I can connect with Esperantists worldwide via sites like this (although it's not exclusively a social networking site) and a whole host of others. That's just fantastic!

Ipernity is a social networking site like Facebook that has an enormous number of Esperanto speakers on it. You might want to check it out.

Of course, Lernu itself has the best Esperanto forum in the business!

Are there any other notable Esperanto forums out there?

Mi nur scias lernu!-n kaj iu Idoforumoj, neniu aliaj Esperantoforumoj malgajo.gif

I only know lernu!, and some Ido forums, no other Esperanto forums.

EDIT: I've also just made a ipernity account @ ceigered.ipernity.com I think.... Thanks RiotNrrd for reminding me!

Thanks, I already knew about that and have an account - here's my page - though I haven't got around to doing much with it yet. rideto.gif

ILuvEire: I was told about this Esperanto Twitter Group yesterday. Also, there's a Usenet group , accessible via Google Groups, that I subscribed to.

Months ago the best used to be Amikumu, but it is not working. But now, Ipernity is absolutely the best social network for esperantists. It is really useful. I can be in contact with friends, meet friendly people, and the most important: interesting content. I am always reading something interesting there on the blogs around. I also began a blog about global warming and climate changes. lango.gif

Ah, and Ipernity has a really nice translation to Esperanto, even better than facebook. okulumo.gif

Does babilejo.org have forums? (I don't know since I've never used the site.)

I totally agree, Andrew. But meanwhile Amikumu had interesting tools, it hadn't useful tools. It used to look like a "beta" site.
Now, even though Ipernity isn't so friendly and does not have that woooonderful map, it gives many interesting possibilities. Because of Ipernity's blog, now we have maaaany things been written in Esperanto about everything! Many local and cultural aspects of real life are being written there, and it is undoubtedly enriching our literature. okulumo.gif
