Social Networking for Scientists

Typically, scientists have stacks of papers, protocols, and notes in their offices that they pass around as PDFs. Labmeeting is designed first and foremost as a document management site that allows scientists and students to easily upload all of those PDFs, organize them, search them, and share them. Scientsist can create groups, and invite other members of their labs to create a common repository of papers that can be accessed from anywhere. from techcrunch

a similar site is SciLink: With over 104 million relationships mined from literature, SciLink already knows who you're connected to.
