Disaboom.com is a community that helps disabled individuals, their care takes and family and friends find the best healthcare and much more. Disaboom.com is a social network designed for disabled Americans. You create a profile, such as in all other social networks they you are ready to participate. Disaboom.com has information on healthcare special devices such as wheelchairs and support bars. The site includes tips and suggestions on making day to day life even easier. Disaboom.com includes a career center that focuses on helping disabled individuals find the right job that suits their needs. Disaboom.com also includes fun, social tools. There is also a review section where people rate restaurants and bars on the handicap accessibility. The restaurants are rated on wheelchair accessibility, waiting room space, table access, bar access, parking accessibility, maneuverability, atmosphere, quality of food and much more. There is also a media section with handicap related videos, such as videos of wheelchair races.

"Disaboom.com is the revolutionary solution to the difficulties faced by an untapped market of more than 650 million adults worldwide living with disabilities and a valuable resource for their caregivers, families, rehabilitation providers and employers.

Disaboom.com has a colorful attractive interface. The site is easy to navigate and well organized with the categories clearly marked. Disaboom.com is a great concept, I haven't heard of any social networks that take the disabled into consideration, so it is a great idea to have a site that does. No other site would take into consideration ramp accessibility, society in general needs to start being conscious of handicap issues, why not start with the internet. Disaboom.com is a great site that helps handicap individuals find what they need and make friends.

At the moment, the site is concentrated in restaurants and locations in Colorado, hopefully as the site grows and there are more members from other states, there will be more information on places in other states. Disaboom.com could let users create common interest groups, giving users another way to connect.
