Launched in autumn’07, Disaboom.com is the
first interactive online community dedicated to helping people with
disabilities or functional limitations to improve their lives. It also
works as an online resource for families, friends and coworkers of the
more than 100 million adults worldwide living with physical
disabilities of any kind.

The founder of this inspiring project is Dr. Glen House, who is
himself a tetraplegic. Now doctors use the website with their patients,
where they can find answers, resources, friends, and even sex tips and
guidance. This last tool has been agressively communicated in Facebook
thru and ad which invites to ask Angela, “a disabled cutie”, about her
reflections on sex.

Disaboom.com definetively stands out in the online communities
market and is giving a clear example of how the internet and technology
should be used by people and not only marketeers.
