Are you Harry Potter's biggest fan? Are you just wild about beaches? A fairly new website called Fanpop might be just the place for you. At a mere one year old, Fanpop is still an infant on the Intern
et scene... but the place is rawkin' hard already. This website is designed for fans of everything and anything from the color blue to watermelon to world travel. The goal of Fanpop's creators is to eventually be the first stop in the World Wide Web for information on virtually any subject. From the looks of it, they are well on their way to reaching that goal already.

The best part of it all is that you don't even have to join Fanpop to take advantage of all the information shared by the members. Instead of searching everywhere for hot new Viral Videos, go check out Fanpop's Spot for them. There they are! Tons and tons of them. Why? Because various Fanpoppers have already done the legwork for you. Miss a few episodes of 'Lost' or 'House?' They are probably here. Doing a school paper on Castles for your History class? Fanpop has lots of info in the Castle spot. Planning a summer trip after graduation? There are oodles of Spots for pretty much every country in existence.

Fanpop is broken down into what they call Spots. Members of the site create these spots. If you are a die-hard fan of something and do not see it here, you are free to create a spot for it. The beauty of it is the ease of use. Creating a Spot for your favorite musician is so simple your 8 year old brother could do it. All you need is an idea, a small picture, and a banner. They don't even have to be the proper size. The Fanpop system takes what you upload and makes it fit. No technical know-how necessary. It only takes about 5 minutes to create a Spot, then you and other fans can add to the spot all you want. Share all those really cool links sitting in your Favorites list, upload those dynamite pictures from your last concert, link to that hilarious video you just watched on YouTube, write an article in the soapbox, or start a forum discussion.

I just discovered Fanpop today because several of my articles are linked on there (which is cool and one of the reasons I'm getting good page views on those I'd say :-) Will be checking it out more when I have time. Good article!

Thanks for the info...I know you mentioned it in a comment before and only briefly checked it out due to time constraints but this may be a worthy addition.

I just love the name.

Pop Music just popped in my mind. Probably because I am most definitely a fan of music. I might already have an account at Fanpop. I started making a list of my accounts. I seem to have the AC Fever and get lost at You Tube for hours. Thanks for asking.
