Where Do You Meet Geeks?

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”!

`Why would people WANT to meet geeks’ might be a better question :)

To further prove I just don’t *get* it, I am having a hard time distinguishing Geeks from Blog. Your description seems to mention exactly what I’m doing with the blog. Be honest, be yourself, write about interests.

I have got to say that this website has been one of the best websites i have found becuase not only do you get the people you know most about and can relate with, but you have the abilities to make your profile whatever you want of it which is a great help to any geek out there these days.

Every geek far and wide will know about this site and when that happens everyone will have know each other by then. i am glad to be part of this community becuase its far better than my…myspa….uh cant remember and face…uhh textbook.

As more and more people come see this site and join the hundreds of groups and geeks there, they will soon find this website as there “Home”.

Thanks Chris for letting me know about this wonderful site and i will continue to support geeks.piriilo.com for as long as i know.

Geeks! is awesome. Well done.
It’s so addictive, though I’ve had to block emails from Geeks!, I’m getting sent email from there too much. :P

Great video Chris! This is a great new social media experience that you have started. Geeks.Pirillo.Com is a hit and for only being open for only a few day and having over 1,000 geeks is awesome! It really shows off your “Pirillo Power” :) I think this is truly a great experience for everyone in the chatroom. It it so cool saying “Hey you are so and so in #Chris!” It gets you all revved up and excited to meeting interwb friends. Bravo Chris!
