I'm at Day 2 BlogHer Business Conference in NYC talking with CNN Anchor Carol Lin about her new web project for cancer patients and their supporters.

Carol lost her husband to cancer and is developing a social networking web site to combine her extensive news background with her passion to contribute to the cancer community. On hiatus from the CNN anchor chair, she has immersed herself in the world of web technology, and shared with me a remarkable combination of warmth and drive, passion and intelligence.

    Great topic on today's show rox. Social networking can help so many people. God bless Carol Lin in all her efforts.

    Definitely a moving topic - it hits home. Being a cancer (leukemia) survivor myself and just recently lost my sister-in-law to pancreatic cancer, I see such a worthy benefit to building this social networking site. Thank you Carol Lin and thank you Rox for the interview.
