Forget Facebook, Dr Richard Price of Oxford University, with a team of people from Stanford and Cambridge, has launched a new networking site aimed at academics: http://www.academia.edu
Dr Price says that the site has two functions:
"1 It shows academics around the world structured in a 'tree' format, displayed according to their departmental and institutional affiliations.
2 It enables academics to see news on the latest research in their area the latest people, papers and talks."
Even if you are not in a current contract with a university there is a place for Independent researchers - "Independent Researchers" portion of the tree at http://independent.academia.edu
