Randall Stross over at the Digital Domain at The New York Times has just discovered online therapy. Acknowledging that the idea has been around for a long time, Stross begins the piece by digging up an American Journal of Psychiatry article from 38 years ago, written by Thomas Dwyer describing one of the first telepsychiatry systems ever devised (at Massachusetts General Hospital). How quaint. (Confusing telepsychiatry/telehealth systems — which have been around for decades utilizing private networks and closed video systems, and that are well-researched — with online therapy is a common mistake made by journalists who explore this area.) The hook, apparently, is to highlight yet some more companies who’ve decided to take the plunge into exploiting this ...

For instance, did you know that the CEOs of the 50 companies that trimmed the most jobs since the latest recession began took home 42 percent more pay than their peers at S&P 500 firms? Who were the layoff leaders? Topping the list was Fred Hassan, the former Schering-Plough ceo, according to a report by the Institute for Policy Studies. Hassan received a $33 million golden parachute when the drugmaker was bought by Merck last year. Meanwhile, 16,000 jobs are being eliminated (background). Hassan’s total 2009 pay of nearly $50 million could cover the average cost of these workers’ jobless benefits for more than 10 weeks. Next up is the king of recalls, ...

Get over it.” That was long before social networks became popular, and long before the rise of Facebook and Twitter. As we noted earlier this week, 2008 was the year of social networking, as social networks surpassed email usage for the first time ever. Facebook is the social networking website that allows you to share as much of your life as you’d like with the world, or just a few select others. Although many people assume that Facebook is an “all or nothing” proposition when it comes to sharing informatio...
