SciTech Social Networking Sites?

For a future *Sci-5* column for _Science & Technology Libraries_, I
am greatly interested in profiling Science and Technology Social
Networks 

[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites ]

To date, I*ve only been able to identify one, the *Nature
Network* 

[ http://network.nature.com/ ]

]

I would MostAppreciate Learning of Any and/or All similar sites for
Scientists/Engineers/Technology Folk, Etc.

***IntRAnet*** (and Local Efforts) (_as well as_ **IntERnet** Social
Networking Sites (SNSs)) are also of interest.

BTW-1: Nothing about IntRAnet/ SNSs in The Business Databases
(ABI/Inform; Business and Company ASAP) [?]

BTW-2: I am aware of LinkedIn [ http://www.linkedin.com/ ] and its
Company Pages 
[ http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=company_directory&trk=gfoot_comp
]

Thanks!
