There are also sub-categories, so within “Programming” you can browse users who list PHP, Ruby on Rails, or another programming skill in their bio. RSS feeds are also offered for each category and sub-category. Beyond directory browsing, you can enter in specific search terms to find people listing certain interests. For example, search for “social media” and you may recognize the first two people in the results: Chris Brogan and Jeff Pulver.
