Wendy and FWEandE for launching this blog. As a cofounder of an early internet social networking internet ASP, ShopTok (circa 1999-2001), and a new startup in molecular diagnostics, KidsDx, the major change I see in the implementation of social networking is the transition from its use as a platform for communication, connection, and referral, to using social networking to fundamentally change our business methods. KidsDx is using social networking as an integral component of our direct-to-consumer lab. It will allow us to change the way we do scientific discovery and run our business. The potential of whole new markets or trends my business operates in, like translational medicine or personalized medicine, will depend on our skill in making this transition. I have been looking for a way to be part of a discussion about how social networking can transform business practice and the application of social networking to personalized medicine. I think this is an ideal forum and would love to learn about how I can help out in this initiative. This is my first comment to a blog. And because you asked...I would be delighted to see speakers at the Social Networking Conference provide concrete examples of how they have seen social networking applied to help businesses change their fundamental business practices. Is this the point at which I invite other new bloggers to join me? Bravo! Wendy and FWEandE for launching this blog.
