Academia.edu helps academics answer the question 'Who's researching what?':

• You can find people with similar research interests to you
• You can keep track of the latest developments in your research area - the latest papers, talks, blog posts and status updates
• You can create an easy-to-maintain academic webpage, listing your research interests and any papers you have written. A sample webpage is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
