Speaking of SharingHope.tv, I have been browsing the site and I am seeing potential in there.

I was notified of something really interesting that will be of huge help (I hope!) to cancer patients — from the American Cancer Society (ACS) via Paul McGee.

Pretty much like YouTube, ACS has launched its own, cancer specific, video and picture sharing site called SharingHope.TV.

SharingHope.tv allows users to create an account and upload video, audio, photos and artwork in order to tell their stories of cancer in ways that work best for them. Visitors to the site can view the content, share what they like with others, or find hope and inspiration for their own fight against cancer.

Cancer survivors and their loved ones are already avid users of online community Web sites, and with SharingHope.tv, the American Cancer Society hopes to engage new and existing users of online media. “Many people share their stories of cancer on Web sites like You Tube, Flickr, and personal blogs.

Now they have a chance to come together in a single online community, with an organization and an audience that really cares about cancer,” said David Neff, American Cancer Society High Plains Division director of web and interactive strategy.

Hey do check it out! Please go to www.sharinghope.tv or you can read the full press release.

Wow. Isn’t that something?!
