I stopped by the booth for Return on Affiliate towards the end of Affiliate Summit 2006 in Vegas, and I don't know how this neat idea has been under my radar for so long.

Return on Affiliate is sort of like LinkedIn or one of the other broad social networking communities, but it's specific to affiliate marketers.

It's free to set up an account there, and then you have access to searchable profiles of Return on Affiliate members, private and instant messaging, a company blog, message boards, etc.

Looks to be a good start - they've got over 100 members just 15 days after launching, and I'd love to see this grow into a place for affiliate marketers to connect, network and share expertise.

If you're looking for my profile on there, I was feeling creative, so I went with Shawn as my screen name.
