When all the holiday hype centers around online shopping and who's going to succeed in e-commerce, it's easy to forget that this is a season about people and the Internet caters to a wide variety of people with many unique and varied interests.

No matter what your interest or background, I can almost guarantee you can find someplace on the Web where you'll fit right in and make new friends online as well as offline.

For example, do you remember that movie with Kevin Bacon where he was thebike messenger? That may have been your only exposure to bike messengers, but there are apparently plenty of them out there. If you don't believe me, just visit the International Federation of Bike Messenger Associations (www.messengers.org).

Here, you'll find everything information-wise a career bike messenger could possibly need, from tips on how to start a bike messengers' group in your town to advice on how to become a freelance bike messenger.
