The Geekgasm Social Network

I am a busy person. Between my professional and personal life, I don't have much free time. Whenever I have spare time, I often create content like this post, play video games, and work on my online projects.

Geekgasm

I have always wanted to create a social network site. So, I made Geekgasm.

Geekgasm has many social features, including status updates, user-created blogs, groups, and forums. It features a store where users can purchase goods.

Members can earn awards and points by using the site, posting updates, liking content, and inviting others to join.

Geekgasm also allows you to create a WordPress-powered website. You can have your site as a subdomain (subdomain.geekgasm.com) or add your domain name (domain.com). Pretty neat, huh?

Why create yet another social network?

I wanted to create a place where my family and friends could join and interact. They will become my core members and eventually help the site grow by inviting their friends and family to sign up. Hopefully, this will create a chain reaction, and new members will do the same for their friends and family.

What's up with the name?

According to Wiktionary, the etymology of "geekgasm" combines the words "geek" and "-gasm." It is slang for intense excitement or pleasure over something geeky. It is synonymous with "nerdgasm."

I remember hearing Mark Meer say during an interview many years ago that he had a geekgasm when he met Jennifer Hale. From then on, the word just got stuck in my mind. One day, I decided to see if the domain name was available. It wasn't. The owner was selling it for about $6K. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a domain name. I used GoDaddy's Domain Broker Service to try to get the domain name. I waited many years and eventually acquired it reasonably cheaply.

However, before getting the domain name, I managed to nag someone who had the @geekgasm Twitter handle. "How," you may ask. I asked if I could have it, and he said yes. He gave it to me. Free of charge.
