I recently discovered an online social networking website that facilitates offline group meetings with common interests in various locations around the world. Upon exploring this site, I saw a meetup for Polyvore, in New York City. I am always game to motor to the Big Apple for fun, exploration and the opportunity to see my daughter.
Social media sites are a funny thing. I seem to have outgrown my fascination with locating childhood friends on Facebook. But, I am still engaged with Pinterest, another online community where users can save images and categorize them on different boards. I am always ready to organize anything so Pinterest allows you keep ideas, projects, travel or whatever you deem important organized.
Now Polyvore is my main social community that has held my attention for the last nine months. Polyvore, funny name, huh? Poly means different and vore means people. Polyvore is the web’s largest fashion community site, where users are empowered to discover their style style and set trends around the world. I might note that Polyvore is the 7th largest e-commerce site, companies advertise as well as sell products on the site. So one month ago, I decided to meet up with other Polyvore members for a day in New York City as organized by one particular member.
