You’re part of an online community, uploading photos and videos, and just sharing your life in general with other Geeks like you… right? More importantly, you’re a part of my brand-new Geeks website? Geeks is made for you, and will grow because of you. If you’re a Geek of ANY kind, this is where you belong. It doesn’t matter if you are a computer Geek, or a movie Geek, or even a chocolate Geek. What matters is that you are passionate about something. That is what makes you a Geek.

Geeks is an ad-hoc community. You can create a profile, join or create groups for like-minded individuals, upload pictures and videos, and even blog a bit. There are forum threads, about anything you can think of to write about, or answer. If you go to someone’s profile page, you’ll notice they have a different theme than you do. You can choose your style, and colors for everything from text to links. Heck, add your own RSS feeds to your profile, too!

The only “rule” really is to be yourself, and be a good person. Be honest, and have fun. What else would you expect from a Geek site? You have the power to start and manage discussions. You have the chance to become more known around the Web, and even to get to know others. You might be surprised how many new friends you’ll make in a very short time.

If you’re a Geek, or even if you’re not sure, why not stop by and check us out? Signup is free, and participation is whatever level you are comfortable with. We may even bring to light some of the more interesting threads and things that you share in our nightly newsletter. We even plan to feature someone as the “member of the day”!
