Watch Chris Slemp's video* for an overview of TN/MSDN's "social platform" that includes:
Social Bookmarking
Community Content (ak.a. "wiki") - for example see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753637.aspx
Forums - for example, did you know the Scripting Guys have a forum?
Blogs
Code Gallery
Oh yeah, search is now part of the social platform
