It is pretty amazing how the whole social networking dynamic is changing the way we communicate, share information and even sell things. Although we, as a medical supply company, don’t necessarily offer a ’service’ per se, we are constantly working on ways to combine selling medical supplies with an experience that shows we actually care about those (doctors, nurses, patients, general public) we’re working with. Thanks for the interesting site.
