CollectiveNet.org: Collectivenet is a website and YahooGroup, not a group of people that meets to network. It is an aggregation of career networking groups designed to maximize job seeking and employee search efforts by providing a central location of candidates, contacts, leads and information with no fees associated and volunteer operated.
NoCoEntre.net: (Northern Colorado Entrepreneurs Network) is a networking environment for local entrepreneurs to meet and support the creation of successful local businesses. It was founded by NoCoNet members Patrick Gill and Peter Olins, but is open to the general public and has no formal ties with LongNet
BoulderNetworking.net: Website for the Boulder Networking group in Boulder.
NoCoNet.org: Website for the Northern Colorado Networking Group in Fort Collins.

There are many other special-interest forums too numerous to mention, some by not-for-profits, and others provided by for-fee providers.
Definitions:
- Job tip: A suggestion on how to get a job such as how to get an Information Interview, follow up with an online resume submittal, creating a PDF file of your resume, etc.
- Job lead: An actual job position that a company has available.
- Posting: Creating/uploading a job tip or job lead. Sometimes done via email, sometimes via website form.
- Forum (aka listserve): An email sent to a recipient list created via subscribe and unsubscribe. Distribution list is hidden. Usually does not allow reply-to-all and should be human-moderated to prevent spamming and inappropriate content.
- Group. Usually starts out with forum/listserve capability, but adds shared document storage, polls, blogs, and other features. YahooGroups and GoogleGroups are examples.
- Social Community: Sites which promote interactive content and friends/connections and you build your own profile within their structure. Facebook and LinkedIn are examples. Whereas forums are one-directional, social communities support interactive content like whiteboards (Facebook) and walls (Ning). Invitations to join your network are sent directly to associates/friends and are many-to-many, whereas participants in a forum or group are created via subscribing to a central listserve and are one-to-many. The state-of-the art sites allow third-party applications to be added/installed.
- Platform: A Web 2.0 term. A site on the web where you build your own application.
- Website: A site using a domain name (example: www.LongsPeakNet.org)
- LinkedIn. A social networking site for professionals (not just for those seeking jobs). You build your own profile.
- Ning. Both a social networking platform and site that allows quick creation of your own social network.
