TakeMyJourney.com aims to build an online community for sharing life experiences.  For making a long journey, or to tell others about your academic choices, this site may be inspiring for others by reading your experiences.  Or also, you might find inspiration by reading about how some people acted about a certain issue.  Normally, we read about experiences of people who became famous because of it and published a book telling the experience…  But maybe people not so famous have been wise enough to make very good decisions or learn from some experience that meant very much for them and could mean very much for someone who comes after them.  So TakeMyJourney.com asks users to write down their gained knowledge, their thoughts or their choices about particular topics, so that they are available for the rest of us.  Success is not everything, though.  Sometimes we all learn from our own mistakes hard but necessary lessons, and this is also good.  So at Take My Journey you can tell others what you did wrong and why you think it was wrong.  If you are on some crossroad about anything, you might get the chance to read why some choice you were thinking to take was not good for the person who wrote on the site.

Have you tried to meet people online but found it difficult to find people who really share your interests?  Do you consider your taste in music to be one of the key things that define you as a person?  Tastebuds.fm is a dating website and an online social network for people who love music, that connects people based on shared musical taste.  According to Tastebuds:

We’ve always been interested in the idea that music taste can say a lot about a person and that for some people it is an important factor when choosing a potential partner…  We started Tastebuds to explore this idea.  We’ve found that for many of our users this is indeed something they place an emphasis on in their own experiences.  At the very least it’s an interesting common ground to spark a conversation with someone which can be just as good a starting point as the fact that you both like red wine and walks along the beach.

Your music interests and likes can easily be imported from Facebook and Last.fm, or they can be entered directly.  You can get started by entering just three artists.  Tastebuds also has a blog and discussion forums.

Today’s Website of the Day was suggested by Alex Parish.  Thanks Alex!  We are always on the lookout for great new sites to feature, so if you have a favorite click the “Suggest” button, fill out the form, and tell us about it.
