Try meetup.com for networking

ne place to find like-minded people is www.meetup.com. It's like Facebook for groups. You wander through a world-sized party and overhear conversations. Some are about business; some are about families, some are about food or bird watching or food and bird watching. You stay longer when they sound interesting and move on when they don't. What makes the difference is that these people intend to get together in the real world.

Their motto is "Do something. Learn something. Share something. Change something." So, whether you're looking for a group to join or looking to start a group and want to find other people interested in the same thing, here's a good place to start.
