Dan also puts some of his work-in-progress on Facebook.  He's a great guy.  Friend him.  

And then there's Reddit.  
Reddit is a place where, no matter how much of an individual you think you are, you can find a few hundred people just like.....you.  
Here's a link to Libertarian Reddit.  Browse the top articles.  Facebook 'em.  Tweet 'em.  Email 'em.
