Medsocial: The Real Medical MySpace

Being a professional in the health field, I enjoy learning about the field from other people. So I joined MySpace but realized that it was for a very few real people and a lot of ads. I had given up on the internet as a place to talk about health and medicine. Then someone at work told me about www.medsocial.com, which he put it as the "Medical MySpace." I gave it a try and my life has never been the same.
Medsocial seems like a social networking website that is more mature than maybe some of the other social networking sites. I feel that the discussions are intelligent, wither it be e-mails with the friends that I have obtained, or from the blog postings or the forum section that allows many intelligent discussions.
Having said all of this, Medsocial is coming around to other things that other social networking websites has. It is still great to have a friends list that all the other social networking sites have. It makes it much easier to connect with those who I talk to on a regular basis. Also, I love being allowed to have a profile which allows me to post information about myself as well as pictures.
Like I said earlier, the blog and the forum sections are great. I like how the forum sections are separated into topics so that you can talk about a variety of health topics. Plus I always like having blogs to talk to others about things that are health related and those that are not.
Plus one thing unique to Medsocial is the points system. The website actually rewards you for participating on the website. You can receive points for just putting information about yourself, posting blogs and answering in the forum section. The rewards are enhanced website features and name awareness, but it is still fun.
Medsocial is really the only social networking site that I use, it is the only one really worth my time. And I can tell that it is getting better. It now offers videos and will soon offer health calculators and drug information soon. Until then, I will be waiting.
