Community Notes
HubPages.com
We've created a new hub on HubPages.com. HubPages.com is a new service that allows you to completely setup a HUB to your own content and web site in a matter of minutes. After 1 day of creating our own hub, we're already in the top rating spot. It's a pretty neat technology.
We've been looking at a lot of these social networking sites recently, trying to decide on an additional direction that myITforum.com should go to continue to provide a self-serve community.
Check out our hub:
