The Jacksonville Times Union has implemented several online forums for community interaction. There are message board story forums, community forums, even video game and music forums!
The Jacksonville Times Union website can be found at jacksonville.com
The Just In and Metro sections of the upcoming news stories have also been linked to a blog - allowing quick and easy communication and discussion on new topics as soon as they pop up.
This online community has been around for a while, and some of the members will let you know it if you push too hard. Its a great place with some thoughtful people and insightful ideas, but the conversation goes quickly and it doesn't stick around forever.
I would love to see some additional forum archives or a new system imported from the old one that allows long term discussions to go on. I would love to hear what some of these characters were saying back in the 2000 elections.

Jacksonville Craigslist
http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/
Craigslist is often in the news for disturbing reasons. But, for all the negative attention it gets, its also a good place to find items for sale locally - just be careful! Anytime you're looking to buy something used, its the buyer's responsibility to understand what you're getting into, and this is especially true online.
Craigslist also has some social sections, so you know, its another place to post your personal ads. I've seen some decent job offers posted here in the Jacksonville Craigslist sections - its actually getting as many local posts each day to keep up with the bigger online job lists.
Anyway, Craigslist is like the city's virtual bulletin board. Some of the deals you'll find are great, and maybe you'll find someone who wants to buy something you're done with. Cars, guitars, boats, its all here!
