Racing to 10,000 Members!
In this newsletter, we again use the opportunity to welcome hundreds of new members to MyNetResearch, creating a community of 9,400 currently registered members from 95 countries.

These are great times for online research and we note with excitement, the recent Calls from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for cyber infrastructure proposals! Although we saw the potential a long time ago, we wont brag about being first!

Our time has certainly come and you are in the forefront of a global transformation to the new research model.

It is worth restating the rationale for MyNetResearch.com, and retelling our story. Before us, most researchers were limited to "collaborations of convenience", working with people they knew. This meant their colleagues on their floor or in their department or college. Perhaps from their old doctoral program, if they stayed in touch. Global collaborations threw up too many barriers. In addition, the research process itself was not as effective as it could be.

MyNetResearch introduced the concept of easy, global collaborations through our state-of-the-art Web 2.0 portal. Created by researchers for researchers, MyNetResearch is now by far the largest research community in the world! Our members are Professors, PhD students, and corporate researchers, who work on projects and proposals every single day in our community. In addition to collaborations, under the hood are many powerful expert tools to aid research and research management.

We appreciate you for inviting your colleagues, telling your Deans and Research Managers about us, and spreading the word. Please continue to let others know about us and to build our community. See our 10,000 Member offer below...
