I’m a huge fan of social networking with sites like Facebook and MySpace. It allows me to keep in touch with and share with my friends and family. We’ve even embraced it as a company with our Yahoo! Answers profile, the blog and multiple profiles on those sites.
But I’ve never seen a site with more of a conscience than Caring Bridge.
Caring Bridge is a social web service that connects family and friends during
critical illnesses, treatment or recovery.
I was introduced to it by a very good friend of mine whose
family member was dealing with cancer. Her name is Joyce. By just providing my
e-mail, I was able to log-on to Joyce’s page and get updates from her journal
or leave a note of encouragement in the guestbook. You can also share photos or
links. Caring Bridge is a great way to keep in touch with a large amount of
people, because when you are sick, you may not feel up to phone calls or
visitors.
