Infohub
An Infohub, also known as a Welcome Area, is a place where Residents congregate and socialize. Infohubs can be fun places to hang out and learn about the world if you're new to Second Life, although silly stuff happens on occasion.
Official Infohubs are owned by Linden Lab and mostly built by Residents, but some Residents run their own, unofficial social spaces which they also call Infohubs.
Infohubs are represented on the World Map with blue i's, like this:
To show them, make sure that the Infohub on the right-hand legend is checked.

Can I find Infohubs through Search?
Yes, you can. Click Search > Places tab and search for "infohub" (it's not CaSe-sensitive). This will show most of the Infohubs, although some are listed using other keywords, and this also includes results for Resident-run Infohubs.
If you click the Any Category drop-down menu, you'll notice "Linden Location" is among the choices.
Is there anything else special I need to know?
You can set your home location at any Infohub.
