About MetaFilter

MeFi consists of several colorful subsites:

MetaFilter: The Blue. A place to post links to "the best of the web," from funny cat videos to exhaustively researched analysis.
Ask MetaFilter: The Green. A forum for asking and answering questions on a wide variety of topics, with good moderation keeping comments useful and on-topic.
MetaTalk: The Grey. A back-channel of public discussion about the site itself: feature requests, bug reports, policy debate, etc.
Music: A platform to upload and share music written by and for fellow members.
Projects: An area to announce and receive feedback for personal projects such as new websites, software, organizations, etc.
FanFare: A new subsite for structured discussion of media new and old, starting with movies and television.
IRL: A tool for organizing meet-ups with fellow MeFites around the world.

For a one-time fee of $5, anyone can join the community and submit new posts and comments to any subsite. A number of tools exist to highlight and browse notable content, including a Best-Of Blog, a monthly Podcast, updated Popular lists, and annual Best Post Contests.
