If they’ve seen it and what they thought about it? I often do and what I usually hear are very conflicting reviews of the movie. One friend will tell me they love it, and another will in detail tell me how much they dislike it. As a result I find myself in a passive mode. My heart wants to listen to my friend who loved it, but the my other friend’s description of why they disliked it keeps showing up in my mind–effectively putting my decision on hold or causing me to consider another movie. Fortunately, I can go online and search for some actual facts. From the movie’s own website or from another trusted source, I can read more about the plot, characters and actors. This creates a more balanced...

In the same article, it shows a photograph of a smiling man in front of the computer. And the reason for the smile? Stark has moved most of his practice, based in Washington, onto the Internet and he couldn’t be happier. Since he started his Web-based service two years ago, he has received 14,000 e-mails. And yet, he feels more like an old-fashioned family doctor in a small town than a modern, harried physician. “That’s 14,000 phone calls that we did not have to answer and that patients did not have to make,” Stark said. He does not charge for answering an e-mail. “You have to come in one time a year for an annual exam,” Stark said.

There is a clear need for Google to raise its game when it comes to online health search.  The search engine consistently tops lists as the first place people go to find health information.  However, as noted by Steven Krein...

What if the right site were delivered to the right user, even if he or she misspelled a word, or didn't even pick the right keyword or phrase? The big brains out there are asking: 'Why do we need keywords at all?' If we used what the linguists call 'natural language,' we'd ask a question in simple (or even complex) terms, and not have to get obsessive about guessing the right code. Search engines would 'get it,' even though you didn't ...

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts are currently debating the implications of Google’s Universal Search Engine.  For example, according to Click Z, advertisers could benefit by incorporating video imagery into ad content, as streaming video will be potentially playable within search results.  What Will Be The Impact On Healthcare Social Media?  Of course, one wonders whether healthcare social media, which h...
