Open networking on the internet for Medical Professionals.  

Do you maintain multiple profiles on the web? ie; facebook, LinkedIn, twitter, MedicalMingle, medXcentral, etc.

Do you know and understand other locations and how they can benefit you and help you grow your presence as well as the presence of MedicalMingle on the web?

Well, that's the intent of the group I just formed here on MedicalMingle.  C'mon in and let's get some conversations started.  I've already started one about twitter (heard of them yet?).  

I can only write so fast.... so, start a conversation about another site and let's collectively discuss how it can be used to benefit you.... and MedicalMingle while we're at it.

Nice work!
