Man, I feel like I wrote this post. The problem is absolutely familiar to me.

What I do in order to socialize / find people who can complement projects that I'm, working on? I write to my blog and share posts on topics that I care about in local social communities. Then I monitor a reaction. Also I like to join discussions in the social networks where potentially I can find some people with the same vision :)
