How to find a group of like-minded traders?

Last year my total return was about 112% although I was only actively trading from about June (from January to May my portfolio was in just index funds and was only up about 8% or so). I have a hybrid, idiosyncratic technique, but I'd like to get involved with a group of other traders whom I can learn from and who hopefully value my input enough to keep me around.

I'm not interested in pooling money, managing other people's money, or anything like that. I want to stick to my money in my account, but I'd like to work in tandem with a group of people who are also making money for themselves in a way that is beneficial for them and myself.

So my question is: does such a thing exist? How do I find such a group of people? How can I know they actual have things to teach me? Should I get active on a site like Stocktwits and hope to make connections there? Can I just use Stocktwits to improve my own trading, or is the site bullshit?
