Disaboom
Disaboom provides a wealth of information for people with disabilities. It brings together solid medical expertise and a large online network of personal experiences. I think it is a very useful social networking site. On one side it serves a vast community of people - individuals with disabilities, but also caregivers, employers, family members, teachers etc - and on the other it can assist the work of researchers, medical practitioners and clinicians.
The site covers a broad range of topics, from conditions such as arthritis and cancer, to non medical categories such as disability rights and adapted technology.
There is an integrated social networking site which allows users to start their own blog and group. There is a function to join discussions and chats. Plus there is a section where you can upload photos and even curricula vitae in order to apply for jobs. All functionalities can be browsed with no need to register first.
This seemed to me an example of social network full of relevant information for researchers and clinicians and very popular too.
