87% of Online Americans Participate in Online Communities

As optimistic as I can get about online communities I am surprised by these numbers that I read on Bryght... of course in a good way... People are using online communities to help themselves, have fun and learn....

Of 1,007 respondents, 87% say they are part of a community. Of those, 66% say they participate in shared personal interest sites. Next comes hobby sites (62%), health community sites (55%), public issues sites (49%s), and commerce sites (47%). Others participate in social or business networking sites (42%), sports sites (42%), alumni sites (39%), or dating sites (23%).
