I got a subscription to Xbox Live recently, I have never been part of a gaming community prior to this. I didn't realize how much of a community it really is. I think for many it is more statisfying than myspace or facebook because you can interact via headset and webcam easily on Xbox. A friend of mine told me she has XBLBFs (xbox live best friends) and was even asked to be someones XBL girlfriend.
Simply by being a girl, with a gamertag that has my name in it, I get countless messages from people I have never met or played with. One of the messages I got was from someone suggesting I join gamertagpics.com.
Gamertagpics.com is a site where you can join with your xbox live gamertag. I believe you have to post a picture of yourself in order to be a member of the site. Here, members and guests can search the gamertag of someone they played games online with. Just like any other online community, you can comment on people's message boards and enter all sorts of information about yourself. On your profile you can choose to answer xbox live specific questions, for example:
How did you come up with your Gamertag?
How many hours a day do you play Video Games?
Have you met anyone off of Xbox Live? Would You? If yes, then Who, how'd it go?
You can also let people know your favorite game, your online status, and when was the last time you were "last seen" on xbox.
It is an extension of an already massive online community.
