Footloose Femails: A Yahoo! Group for Single Women

Singletude would like to announce the debut of the hottest, hippest email list ever to grace Yahoo! Groups. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased, but I'm allowed to be because this is a group for single women, so it automatically gets the Singletude seal of approval. (Sorry, guys, this one is just for us girls, but if I hear of a comparable group with more testosterone, you'll read it here first!)

Called Footloose Femails, the group was started in April by moderator Iolanda of Sydney, Australia, to give single women an online retreat for socialization, support, and general exploration of the joys and challenges of solo living. Right now, the group is still small, numbering 14, so new members are welcome. There have already been some intriguing discussions about everything from male-female friendships to self-commitment ceremonies, and the larger the group gets, the livelier the conversation will be.

For those who are unfamiliar with Yahoo! Groups, you will need a free Yahoo! account to join. As with all Yahoo! groups, you can choose to receive and respond to messages by email or log in to the Footloose Femails forum online. I hope to see you all there!

Also, apologies to anyone who couldn't access Singletude over the weekend. The robotic powers that be mistook my love of informative links for spam and put the blog on lockdown. Thankfully, we've straightened out that little misunderstanding, and hopefully it won't happen again. (This is where I'm supposed to haul some intimidating threats out of my arsenal, but everyone knows you do not threaten a multibillion Web 2.0 monopoly and live to blog about it.)

Singletude: A Positive Group For Singles on BlogCatalog

Come one, come all to Singletude: A Positive Group for Singles, the newest message group for the unattached, by choice or by circumstance, on BlogCatalog! Yes, that means we can all gab with each other on topics of your choice rather than just the ones I've managed to think up here.

I've started off the discussion with several threads to spark debate, but you're encouraged to add your own. You can find links to the current group topics in the sidebar of the Singletude home page.

Besides some great conversation with other singles, your participation at BlogCatalog can bring exposure and traffic to your own blog. (Yes, I am referring to shameless self-promotion!)

Hope to see you there!
