social networking for professors

I just received an email from, Pronetos, a social networking site for professors that appears to be headquartered in Idaho. I know one person listed and the history angle seems to be environmental history. I do know one person IRL (in real life) so it might be interesting to see where it goes. I'll have to add it to my list and see if there are any similar sites that might fit my areas of history study more closely but this is certainly an area to explore.

Thanks for the write-up. There are several new features on Pronetos since this post and we have a very aggressive schedule to introduce even more features, but here are the latest:

Document Versioning: Now, after getting feedback from your peers, you can upload a revised version of the original document, thus reducing the confusion of posting multiple versions of the same document.

Open Peer Review: Based on five factors, you can now have peers in your field review your submissions with more than “comments.”

Improved Profile Pages: Tell people more about yourself and your research! On your profile page, click “Edit your profile” to add “About Me,” “Current Research,” “Outside Interests,” and more.

Stop in and check out the new features!
