You can use Facebook to get in touch with people whose interests are similar to yours.

As one of the most popular social networking websites, Facebook is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. Your Facebook profile can contain as much information about you as you want, including your interests and hobbies. You can add interests by finding the relevant page for that interest and adding it to your profile. Once you have specified what your interests are, it is easy to find people who share the same interests as you do.
