Quick Pitch: Social hobby network for people who would like to share their hobbies, interests and lifestyle with other hobby enthusiasts! Whether you're an amateur hobbyist, collector or craftsman this website is for you.

Genius Feature: There are some unusual hobbies out there, from bottle cap collecting to ghost hunting. HobbyThing looks to bring together people who share these obscure interests (or more broad ones like cooking or gardening), and makes excellent use of tagging to do so.

Each tag includes links to all of the HobbyThing members who share that hobby, but also pulls in useful information from other websites like Flickr photos, YouTube videos, and items that might be of interest from Amazon. In turn, they solve one big problem of launching any new content and community site: seeding it with content.
