BioCrowd, An Online Network for Bioprofessionals, Unveils New Features
It's official; BioCrowd was one year old on Monday. .jpg)
During the past year,Vincent and I have been surveying the bioscience social media space to come up with ideas to keep BioCrowd fresh and relevant. To that end, we redesigned the BioCrunch section of our home page to include a bulletin board feature, a weekly video pick and RSS-driven news, video and podcast feeds. Also, we created a feature called the Career Corner that will showcase the interests, careers and lives of featured BioCrowd members. The inaugural career vignette is about me. So, those of you who want to learn more or can’t get enough of me, check it out!
Next week, we hope to launch a new user-generated, multimedia file upload capability. The new functionality will allow members to up load any type of multimedia file (videos, podcasts, PowerPoint presentations, poster etc) to website. Uploaded files can be read, viewed or listened to at the website and members can rate the content (like vs. dislike). Finally, multimedia files will be aggregated according to type and linked to the profiles of members who generated and uploaded the content.
We hope that BioCrowd members enjoy the new features and continue to visit the site. Also, please tell your friends, colleagues, mentors or other bioprofessionals about the site.
Both Vincent and I look forward to seeing and chatting with you at the BioCrowd.
Until next time...
Good Luck and Good Networking!!!!!!!!!!
