I've heard/read many users on stand.fm said "here's my third place". For me, too.
Stand.fm is where I can say something in my mind; so it's called the third place, isn't it?
It's funny, isn't it? I don't know them that much in person, only their voice and thoughts but their real names/looks... however I can feel something positive to them, i.e. friendship. I imagine many users agree with this idea.
