<P> The relationship that is formed with eBay users is similar to the users of Craigslist . Users place items that they want to sell on the website, and other users that are looking to purchase these items contact the seller . Craigslist is used to bring together individuals and organizations and connect them to the resources, tools, technology and ideas they need to effectively engage in community building and see the impact of their actions . This is done via email or over the telephone . The buyer and the seller form a meeting in which goods are exchanged for money . Without this type of website, the buyer would not know that the product was available by the seller . This type of website allows members of a physical community to network with the other members of their community to exchange goods and services . </P> <P> The transaction from web to real life is seen on a macro scale most recently on dating websites, which are used to search and match other users . These websites allow members with a common interest, to find others with this same interest . Academics who have studied the industry believe that it and other forms of electronic communication such as e-mail and social networks are starting to have a significant effect on the ways in which people find love . Users are able to interact with one another and find if they have common interests . Many sites have been developed that target many different interest groups, and relationships form and develop using the internet . If the users decide that they share a mutual bond, they are able to interact via the telephone, and eventually in person . The relationship begins on the internet, but can lead to real life dating and eventually even marriage . </P>
