D Meets Facebook?
I received an email from Jens Christianson this morning about his new social networking
space for diabetics called DiabetesFriends.net. I joined up this morning and the whole space has a pretty cool look - very "Facebook" in presentation with the blue and white theme going on and similar Wall and Groups features.
Jens says, "I was diagnosed a T2 diabetic in 2007. It was quite a surprise and very frustrating, as I knew extremely little about diabetes. I had many unanswered questions and used the internet a lot to find more information about diabetes."
There aren't too many members at the moment, but it looks like it has the potential to become a fast-growing networking space. Another feather in the Health 2.0 cap or a real trailblazing network? We'll be the judges on that.

Sounds like it could shape up to be a terrific site. I'm heading over to join right now. Thanks for the tip!

I like the layout of the site, and it's a lot more intuitive than the usual suspects. I think they need to support an identity system like OpenID, though. I'm tired of creating personas on different sites. Maybe they should live within Facebook as a Facebook App....
