I have to admit that I personally have doubts about the effectiveness of social networking. I have declined several invitations to join LinkedIn in the past few months. However, I suspect that it is a facet of my personality rather than lack of value within the products themselves. For me, cultivating an online network requires time and effort that I personally tend to expend elsewhere. However, I was very interested to find that quite a few scientific social networks have been developed since I last looked into that sort of thing.
- Lasilio has a literature search component.
- Bamboo has liberal arts institutions as part of its focus.
- Ologeez has a great name and is tied to Pubmed
- Scilink has more than 40,000 members.
- and there are so many more
Do check out these networks if you're so inclined, and let the Eckerd community know which you have joined by leaving a comment here.

Keri - Social networking is useless for getting a job. About.com added Linkedin to their famous Top 10 Job site list and it is the first and only social network on the top 10 job site list, the 3 new sites are:
www.linkedin.com
www.realmatch.com
www.indeed.com
Whole top 10 list here:

Thank you for your interest Ray, but I was commenting on social networking sites for scientists to connect with others doing similar research or for students to see where researchers work, for grad school purposes.
However, I am sure some students will be looking for jobs as well and will appreciate your list.
