Comments on: Labmeeting: A Social Network For Scientists http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/30/labmeeting-a-social-network-for-scientists/ Startup and Technology News Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:15:25 -0800 hourly 1 By: Albert Meige http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/30/labmeeting-a-social-network-for-scientists/comment-page-2/#comment-2940493 Albert Meige Sat, 22 Aug 2009 06:23:59 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/?p=20592#comment-2940493 Dear all, Since all the people reading this post are interested in social networks for scientists (weither they like it or not) I thought you may be interested in PRESANS: yet another social network for scientists: http://www.presans.com. I allow myself to post a comment the post related to LabMeeting as we are not competitors at all: in our case, the social network is actually “just” a tool: PRESANS is a new open innovation intermediary in France for scientists around the world. We are launching the private beta period mid-september 2009. Registration is already open on http://www.presans.com. Basically, PRESANS is a social network for Experts (researchers, scientists, engineers etc.). We provide Experts with a range of free services through our internet platform and Experts are paid significant rewards to solve R&D challenges (from tens to hundreds of K euros). So the social network is really a tool to help us to manage and keep the contact with the Experts. This means that, even if PRESANS is another social network for scientist, this one is also for you! Thank you very much for reading this post and I am really looking forward to reading your comments and to seeing you PRESANS (http://www.presans.com/). And REMEMBER: registration has already opened for the beta and the actual launching is mid-september 2009. Cheers, Albert Meige, founder of PRESANS (and researcher in Plasma Physics!) Dear all,

Here some texts from their blog: "To make them even more useful, we upgraded our database to include the content of several major scientific databases, namely PubMed, Citeseer, RePEc, ArXiv, IEEE, NASA. Currently, more than 30.000.000 scientific articles from a broad range of scientific fields are included. Searching for keywords is one thing - relating research output based on content is another. We developed semantic tools that are able to do that." researchgate offers a powerful search, a new semantic search with the possibility to paste whole abstracts, which will be analysed semantically and closely related papers will be shown. The group functions are pretty nice. Filesharing tool, voting tool, etc. here is their video in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-CIyenkZ8A http://www.researchgate.net http://blog.researchgate.net Hey guys,

BUT the I could not finish first step of signing up. I dont have and .edu or .org email that I can use as I am working as a Professor in a collage and dont have any one of those suffix to my email. So it scored couple of bad points for that. As I said the idea is nice and this reminds me something like an electronic lab book. For a scoentific network one can find couple of them on the web. A very good one would be www.scientistsolutions.com I use it frequently and got all of the answers to my scientific problems on top of shortening the answer time to the scientific questions one can also develope a scientific network all around the world and not just in the US. No problem in registration and one could also see everything without registration. Guy Hi all,
