Facebook is a huge social network that allows anyone of age that has an email address to join.

Medical Mingle is the free professional social network for people interested in, working in, servicing, or studying for a career in the health care and medical field. Though we don't restrict our membership, this is our target audience. We also welcome you to invite your adult family members and friends whom you'd like to communicate with here. 

I'm also on Facebook, and as a pure social network, Facebook offers lots of fun things that we don't, but we offer lots of things that Facebook doesn't. Facebook doesn't have forums and a general blog, and you can't learn about most members unless you become their friend first. They also don't offer all of the professional content that we do. Those are things that I REALLY like about our site by comparison. Facebook also doesn't offer the terrific contests and recognition that we do. For the advantages of each is why I like being on both sites.
