I have my doubts about the viability of this one. Here's what they say:
"Labmeeting is a tool for scientists. It was created to help with those things that make doing science needlessly difficult. These include:
* Finding someone at Wisconsin who works on aging in yeast
* Remembering whether the paper about helix bundles was 8753.pdf or science.pdf
* Moving journal club to Tuesday
... and, above all, sharing one's interests, expertise, and discoveries with others."
How about this for scientists who toherwise break out in a rash at online networking?

Ning claims to be a customisable platform for social networks ... a place where you can build you own environment...
It's hilarious when you think about it: technology is touted as being one of the key drivers of change, but those people sitting on power over how we use IT in companies and administrations are some of the least capable of embracing change.
"... twitscoop enables you to stay on top of things in a matter of seconds, often way before the news actually hits the mainstream information channels ! "
Yes, but what 'matters'? And is it 'news' worthy? And why should we 'stay on top of it'? If it is about 'what people are doing' that is often not likely to be newsworthy... I'm not sure that saying what you are doing is the most interesting use of Twitter.
