[OWW-Discuss] OWW logo on facebook and LinkedIn

[Steven J. Koch]

I'm in favor of OWW group on LinkedIn (facebook too, though I haven't gotten
around to using that yet).  I think LinkedIn is a valuable network for
academic labs, since it connects graduate students and postdocs to industry
and the venture capital world.  This is good, because many students will
move on from academia, into networks that are difficult to grow from
scientific meetings alone.  I don't know what Open Social is, but I'm
guessing that LinkedIn is better developed for the purpose I'm talking
about.

Hi Maureen, 
I thought that there was a facebook group, but I can't see it, anyone else
remember?  
I think I'd be in favor of starting a new social network rather than trying
to create duplicate networks  elsewhere,  Ricardo, what 's the deal with
Open Social?
 
also, (btw Maureen, try this list discuss at openwetware.org instead in the
future, as we're fazing out the sc list)
cheers, 
John

Hi All,

I suggest that OWW get a group designation on LinkedIn (professional
networking) and Facebook (social networking). It might help get more
exposure if the OWW badge were displayed on our pages. What do you think?
