It is a well known fact that universities are research based institutions where both community and spirit are essential to growth. That is why StudentBusinesses.com is glad to feature a venture that takes the idea of research and transforms it into a sustainable online community. Research communities, since ancient times, have existed out of a desire to know, understand, and most importantly to explore the univerise (All men naturally desire knowledge. - Aristotle). Also, history has shown that research done of any kind is not only valuable to society practically, but also good for the individual who desires to understand more than anything else. Therefore, why not make a business and a research community and combine the both of two worlds? That is what SciVee has done:

"SciVee is an online science community where scientists can make their research known to their fellow peers as well as the general public. Scientists can create "pubcasts" which are online presentations that allow a scientist to combine their publication with media such as video, audio, images, and text to allow visitors to quickly grasp the key concepts of their publications, as well as an increased chance for citation. Scientists can also form communities around their research/projects/interests and can start discussions or plan events with their group."

The scientific community is already a well respected one which has contributed immensely to human understanding. By building on those foundations with current technology and innovation, the future seems set to make science more accessible to both scientists and the layman. SciVee plans to take this innovation and this community and offer them as much as they can handle in the social networking and media universe. All legalities and scientific in-fighting aside, SciVee is open to the scientific community as a whole and can only help in the spread of ideas and work. With enough of their niche users and the side-liners and spectators of scientific work, SciVee can become a great social networking tool and might hopefully be the place of showcase for something great in the sciences.
