Social Network Sites

Two items of note:


  • The Society of Rheology has set up a discussion group on LinkedIn.  You must be a member of SOR to join.  So far I've seen discussions on geopolymers and chocolate.
  • Anton Paar USA is on Facebook.  I believe that you need to be a customer or prospect to join, as when you search "anton paar" on Facebook, nothing comes up.
    (I tend to use Facebook during my leisure hours, so I rarely log onto the site at work.  Is anyone else using Facebook at work?)

LinkedIn

One of my work colleagues gets calls from headhunters once a month or so.  She thinks that most of these people are getting her contact information from LinkedIn.
Has anyone benefited from being on LinkedIn?

Rheology on iTunes

A search of "rheology" on iTunes turns up...

  • A polymer rheology class from Michigan Tech
  • A NC State introduction to the poultry science department.  (Not sure how it's related to rheology, but anyone who has 16 minutes to watch the video and let me know is welcome to do so.)
  • A three minute podcast on dough rheology from USDA
 A search of "rheometer" on iTunes turns up...
