LabMeeting.com - A Place for Scientists to Connect

Despite what you think, scientists have friends too. When not stuck looking into microscopes and petri dishes, they enjoy good conversations and company too, albeit, many prefer to wax about genomes and nanobots rather than football and Britney Spears. So now, there's a social network that caters to the scientific set. It's called LabMeeting, and rather than being a place to SuperPoke and share silly pictures, it's a place to share lab papers with fellow lab members. It makes paper management a lot easier too, because LabMeeting allows members to upload files, PDF's etc to its site and then organizes them for you allowing for super easy search options. Students and teachers alike can use it to keep track of projects and work, or to critique, mark up, and rank papers. It's a free community for individuals and students; for corporate users, however, there will be a fee.

"Upload research articles
Keep your research orderly.

* Automatically match them to bibliographic records for reference management
* Search the full text of all your PDFs

LabMeeting is a great tool for scientists and science students who need to organize all their projects and paper as well as get feedback on research. It's free and easy to use.

Will they get a lot of users? Will scientists like the way LabMeeting organizes and manages documents? Will it's corporate pay structure be enough?
