BloodBankTalk has been around for almost 4 years now.

How did you first hear about us?

My supervisor received an email from Cliff inviting her to join BBT. She knew that I belonged to several fitness online forums and thought it would be something that I would be interested in so she forwarded the email to me. She was correct and I joined that day. She also joined a few months later.

Another member that I had made contact with via the AABB discussion groups emailed me about this site.

a co-worker was researching centrifuges for me and ended up on BBT - we were hooked from then on!

I don't remember. It's too long ago!!!

I was searching in the Internet generally for information about getting auto-antibodies 'unstuck' from red cells using PEG - and I stumbled on this site. I'm very glad I did!

I worked at BWH when you started the web-site and still love it

Same as Mabel- someone on the AABB site told me about it. So, I found it despite all efforts to keep me from knowing about it. ;-)

I heard about Blood Bank Talk at last year's AABB meeting. I think someone was representing the website at the AABB Exhibit Hall. He was in this little corner and looked totally out of place. I think it was because he had to share a table with another vendor.

Cliff, I think that would be a great place to get the word out about this great site. You should conside having a bigger representation at the AABB Annual Meeting.

I can't remember now! It may have been AABB or it may have been through a search engine.

Was in SBB program and was looking for any interesting sites and stumbled across and loved it

IBMS website forum

I don't remember ...may be while serching for some blood bank material...I think I joined right away..same day. SInce then I love this website....can not go to sleep without looking at the BBT.

I found BBT by chance when I was looking for some information about FP24h. I love this site very much.

Joined in 2004 when it was Donor Forum. Don't remember how I found Donor Forum.

I think I was invited to join when the site first came up.

I was searching the internet for information on an issue and ended up on this site.

I heard about it from a few other websites.

I think I received an invitation early on when it was called something else (DonorLimits?).

I had been searching for this type of site when we were researching new computer systems, but did not have much luck. I think I accidently found it much later when I was "Googling" for some other technical information. I think BBT is SUPER!

I think I received an invitation early on when it was called something else (DonorLimits?).

Yup, that was it. Very good memory.

The site originally started on another domain, DonorLimits.com.

....can not go to sleep without looking at the BBT.

Umm, I think you might want to talk to your personal physician about that.

I heard about it from a few other websites.

That's interesting, do you remember what other sites these were?

I found it by chance when I was dioing a Yahoo search on PEG autoabsorption

(Couldn't work out how to use the actual survey . sorry for being so dim!)
