SIMI VALLEY, CA, June 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) This week MeetMyKind announced the launch of an all-in-one, intelligent social networking site (MeetMyKind.com). Similar to how the website Netflix recommends movies to its customers and the website Amazon.com recommends books and other products to its customers, MeetMyKind learns each user's social preferences and proactively recommends people, events, blogs, and other social content to its users.
MeetMyKind is looking to be a "one stop shop" for those seeking social connection on the Web. While many existing sites focus primarily on connecting users with those that they already know, MeetMyKind's focus is on relevance and on helping users find new connections and content of interest. At the heart of MeetMyKind is an algorithm and system that proactively finds relevant social content based on each individual user's tastes. Also important to MeetMyKind's model and its desire to be a "one stop shop" is the fact that MeetMyKind combines business, personal, and dating matching along with events, blogs, and other social content in a single site.
Of interest to some users may be MeetMyKind's location-based feature which, when activated, intelligently finds people and event matches nearby to one's present location.
MeetMyKind is focused on growth, and the company has oriented its site and marketing efforts on adults of college age and above. When asked about the company's background and objectives, Melissa Leonard, the company's CEO, stated, "I'm very excited about the launch of MeetMyKind. I believe our site is an answer to those who would like to expand their social circles or otherwise would like to find specific people, events, and ideas that will be relevant and of interest to them."
In the crowded social networking space MeetMyKind is something new, and launching shortly after the successful IPO of LinkedIn, MeetMyKind may turn out to be the next big thing in social networking.
MeetMyKind is a social networking company based in Simi Valley, California. The company is focused on being the best and easiest way for users to meet new people, become of aware of events and social information they would have interest in, and to stay in touch with those that they would want to know.

'Orca ears' inspire Stanford researchers to develop ultrasensitive undersea microphone
2011-06-24
For most people, listening to the ocean means contemplating the soothing sound of waves breaking gently on a sandy beach.
But for researchers studying everything from whale migration to fisheries populations, and from underwater mapping to guiding robots trying to repair leaking undersea oil wells, listening to the ocean from the other side – underwater – can reveal volumes of valuable data.
Stanford researchers have developed a highly sensitive underwater microphone that can capture the whole range of ocean sounds, from the equivalent of a soft whisper in a library ...
Researchers discover migration patterns of marine predators
2011-06-24
Ian Jonsen, a research associate and adjunct professor in the Department of Biology at Dalhousie University and co-lead investigator of the Future of Marine Animal Populations Project (FMAP), has teamed up with Barbara Block at Stanford University and several other American researchers to conclude a two year study entitled, "Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean" published in the science journal Nature released June 22.
The study summarized the results from a ten year tagging program called the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP). The TOPP program ...
BUSM study identifies new potential approaches to treat myelofibrosis
2011-06-24
(Boston) – A new study conducted by a team of researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) sheds light on a possible new approach to treat the bone marrow disease known as myelofibrosis by inhibiting an enzyme that connects extracellular fibers. The study, published online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, was conducted under the direction of Katya Ravid, PhD, professor of medicine and biochemistry and director of the Evans Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research at BUSM.
Myelofibroisis, which currently affects between 16,000 and 18,500 Americans, ...
Model helps pinpoint cyanobacterial genes that capture the sun's energy
2011-06-24
RICHLAND, Wash. – A new computer model of blue-green algae can predict which of the organism's genes are central to capturing energy from sunlight and other critical processes.
Described in a paper published in the journal Molecular BioSystems, the model could advance efforts to produce biofuel and other energy sources from blue-green algae, known as cyanobacteria. Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis and Purdue University developed the model, which was made for the single-celled marine ...

Contaminated cocaine triggers decaying, dying skin
2011-06-24
If the obvious reasons for avoiding recreational drug use aren't off-putting enough, physicians have yet another detrimental consequence to add to the list – crusty, purplish areas of dead skin that are extremely painful and can open the door to nasty infections.
The condition is called purpura. Typical causes include a range of rare disorders, but it is also associated with the use of cocaine. Not just any cocaine, though: Physicians, researchers and health officials believe cocaine contaminated with a de-worming drug commonly used by veterinarians is the culprit. ...
Compound may provide drug therapy approach for Huntington's disease
2011-06-24
DALLAS – June 23, 2011 – UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified compounds that appear to inhibit a signaling pathway in Huntington's disease, a finding that may eventually lead to a potential drug therapy to help slow the progression of degenerative nerve disorders.
"Our studies have uncovered a new therapeutic target for Huntington's disease treatment and possibly for other neurodegenerative diseases," said Dr. Ilya Bezprozvanny, professor of physiology and senior author of the study, published in today's issue of Chemistry and Biology. "In addition, ...
Young Author Writes Book to Help Peers Succeed in Grade School!
2011-06-24
Children love to succeed and do well in school. Watch a child being praised, and you will see his or her face light up with pride. Have you noticed when children do good and receive positive feedback, they want to continue to do good? Unfortunately the opposite is true as well. If young children are not consistently reminded of their manners, they often tend to get in trouble, which can lead to feelings of embarrassment and sadness. In a recent survey, more than 70 percent of U.S. adults said they thought people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago. Guaranteed Success ...
NASA satellite gets 2 tropical cyclones in 1 shot
2011-06-24
The Northwestern Pacific Ocean is active with two tropical cyclones today, Tropical Storm Meari near the Philippines, and Tropical Depression Haima moving over China and now toward Vietnam. NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the region on June 22 and captured an infrared image of both storms in one image.
One of the instruments onboard NASA's Aqua satellite is the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). AIRS captures cloud top temperatures in tropical cyclones to determine the strength of convection and thunderstorms. The strongest thunderstorms have cloud tops with icy cold ...
Solar wind samples give insight into birth of solar system
2011-06-24
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, June 23, 2011—Two papers in this week's issue of Science report the first oxygen and nitrogen isotopic measurements of the Sun, demonstrating that they are verydifferent from the same elements on Earth. These results were the top two priorities of NASA's Genesis mission, which was the first spacecraft to return from beyond the Moon, crashing in the Utah desert in 2004 after its parachute failed to deploy during re-entry.
Most of the Genesis payload consisted of fragile solar-wind collectors, which had been exposed to the solar particles over a ...
