Like the title says...
I've not explored much on this site but apparently it's a facebook type thing for academics and researchers. you can look up projects to see what others are researching, etc. Might be worth a look if you're interested.

I've been on this site for ages, and don't know if it's done me any good. It's also not comprehensive - there's basically no academics from my field on there. Established academics don't need to use this, so I suspect it's just for us up-and-comers. People also need to be careful if they're uploading material which has been published - this could breach copyright.
I've found it quite useful for keeping in touch with people I've met at conferences - but, as has been pointed out, mainly other postgrads rather than established people.
