There are 6.7 billion people swimming around in this great big fish bowl we call planet Earth. The world is a very big place... With, so many people buzzing around each other everyday, one would think we would never get lonely, or need to look outside our own backyards to find interesting people, just like ourselves. Yet, for so many people, finding just that right person, group, or network really isn't that easy. On the other hand, for some, it is that easy; however, they choose to look way beyond the next horizon to find interesting people to socialize with, or interesting places to visit. It is for this reason that the Internet is blooming with new, pen pal websites, Social Media sites, and Internet Dating webpage's worth checking out.

There five million penpal listings on Yahoo, and well over six-million Internet social clubs listed on Google. there is another 519,000 international Internet social clubs listed on the World-Wide-Web.

Of course, we are all familiar with some of the giants in the industry, such as MySpace, Facebook, and Flicker. Oh, I could go on and on; however, I think you get my drift. What it all seems to boil down to is this; people, like you and me are trying to make our world a smaller place, in which to connect and socialize with people.

The thing is though, the big guys in the social-media arena are just that, big and getting bigger. The bigger they get, it seems the harder it is to meet new and interesting people. Oh, sure these sites have become great for social marketing and mass networking, but for those of us looking to meet people to socialize with, either one on one, or in groups, it can be overwhelming. It's getting harder and harder to meet quality people. I have to admit, there are times, when on giant social media websites, I feel like a little kid in the background at a large party, waving my hands, and shouting. " Look at me! Look at me!" while the world just passes me by.

So, yearning to make a few new, good friends, I decided to do a little surfing to see what else was going on in the penpal or Internet social club arena. I'm glad I did. I found what I was searching for, this new International Penpal Internet Social Club website, It has only been up and running a short while, but it's really cool with great people, from all over the world as members. As a new site, it's still fresh and not over-crowed, so it is much easier to meet people and to socialize. While I was there, I met a lot of  people from all over the globe. I also checked out an awesome group about custom motorcycles, played a few games, and checked out a lot of really great pictures. The best thing I liked about the site was that it was free to join and become a member.

So, if you are like me, tired of looking for people to meet; if you're just not having any luck hanging around your space, do a little surfing and find some place not quite as big and crowed. Find a place where you will fit in and meet great people and friends. Who knows, you may even find the love of your life.
