Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.Similarly, you don't want Twitter to replace your RSS reader - always get to the original source. When you see a medical news item on Reuters or WebMD, don't stop there - always go to the original journal article. More often that not you will find that the results reported in the original article are a quite a bit more nuanced and less certain than...

But by the time I interviewed, I had become something of a prodigy on the field. Not medically, of course, but on the PA profession as a whole. I've written articles on the application process, interviews, and the other aspects of getting in to PA school, and I've made much out of the need to show up prepared.

Clearly it is essential that I find a way of ensuring that MedWorm's processing capability is used to maximum efficiency, to ensure that MedWorm can pay for itself as it grows. So I had another think about where most of the processing power is getting used up on MedWorm, and came to the tough conclusion that I will have to bring in a subscription model.MedWorm will remain completely free to use, except for one bit of functionality, that of customized RSS feeds. At the moment there are (many) hundreds of RSS feeds for you to pull out of MedWorm that are precompiled every day, based on optimised queries for individual topics and data types.

But it was partly their own fault. Blogs and other social media were buzzing with healthcare reform talk for more than a year, and were more influential than ever. But HR and benefits professionals –- experts in the topic –- were mostly on the sidelines. They didn’t shape the debate, didn’t point out when people didn’t know what they were talking about, didn’t talk about how what was proposed would affect what they did for a living. Don’t take my word for it. A study last year on social media use by HR professionals revealed ...

As of today, there are 25 iPhone applications related to swine influenza available in iTunes store. Eleven of these apps are free, while the other 14 cost somewhere between $0.99 and $1.99. Most of these apps are either trackers, meaning that they show you maps of swine flu cases, or RSS aggregators, bringing you the latest swine influenza news. I tried all of the free apps, and can tell you that none of them really impressed me. Some are better designed than others, some offer more functions, but none are great. For example, Swine Flu Tracker Map looks great, but its map loads so painfully slow that you want to shoot yourself. On the other hand, The Swine Flu Tracker (notice how ...

No more so than in the field of health care and medicine.The Internet provides us, for the first time in history, the ability to start putting those pieces together. Making new connections, different people with different beliefs, but with shared purposes, uniting like never before behind common objectives.

Being able to generate targeted (or pre-qualified) traffic to a website by enhancing its effectiveness has the potential to bring unlimited earnings to the internet marketer and website publisher. Search engine optimization, however, can be a rather expensive proposition as it entails a good sum of financial expense, especially if you are not familiar with how things are carried out and done effectively, while keeping expenses to the minimum.

The problem is finding an affiliate marketing course with solid techniques and a proven plan that is aligned with your personal goals and dreams. What works for someone else may not be particularly right for you - there is no universal success path that can be blindly copied from top online shopping sites. Learning about affiliate marketing is really no different than going to school for the first time. The biggest difference that I’ve seen is that so many people fail simply because they don’t get the proper education. There may be several different reasons for that, but it all comes down to not having someone there to ask questions or point you in the right direction of what to do until you...

With the internet, you can start you own online business quickly, easily and with almost no cost, especially compared to a traditional offline business. So how do you get started and grab your share of the millions being made with internet marketing? The quickest and easiest way is to become an affiliate marketer. What is affiliate marketing? When you’re an affiliate marketer, you market other people’s products and when someone buys through your special link, you get paid a commission. Depending on the type of product, that commission can be anywhere from a couple of percent all the way up to 75% or more (these higher commissionsare only on digital product...

From the colorful and blinking commercial banners posted in well-known sites up to the different freebies, advertising is considered to be a must to attract potential clients. One of the popular advertising schemes around the web is the article marketing. The expertise in promoting a certain site is translated into a written article and distributed it to sites that offer free article posting to highly endorse a certain product or service. It is also achieved by using blogs and direct agreements with webmasters and editors of these free article sites to publish your article. In return, they will provide you a direct link back to your website. What makes it very popu...

Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebook to increase incrementally. It’s obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly. The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance. Having said that, let’s look at what makes ebooks so important and so unique.

We’re not talking about the mailings lists people used to use, where you purchased a list of 1000s of names for a price and then sent offers through the mail to each one of them. But opt-in email mailing lists. You have a simple website where you offer helpful information about how to train pet birds to behave well or talk. Through that site you promote one or more affiliate marketing programs. Maybe you link to a CD that helps teach birds to talk and you make profits (or hope to) from the sales your link generates through affiliate marketing.

Like any new venture, sometimes things start slowly and then pick up speed when you have a little experience and confidence with what you’re doing. The beauty of earning affiliate marketing commissions is that you don’t have to change careers to do it. You can keep that 40- or 60-hour a week job, so there’s no risk to you if it doesn’t work out (though there’s no reason that it shouldn’t).

This might take some time if you are new to the Internet, but there free tools available such as wordtracker and Google Adwords Kyeword Tool.

However, no matter how much wealth you may have and you are sick, your money cannot give you life. You can use it to get the best medical care, but you cannot use it to save your life.

The volume of postings on some lists would clutter up the acount, making it more difficult to manage and making it more likely I’d miss other, more important emails from inside our organization. So I subscribe to lists using a Gmail account. Here’s why: Separating list emails into a separate account allows me to treat them, as a whole, in a different manner than emails from higher-priority senders (patrons, co-workers, etc.).

You can also subscribe to an RSS feed from the major journals, and many other journals also have RSS feeds that you can subscribe to.

I have decided to follow Leo Laporte’s example by creating a del.icio.us tag that we can all use to facilitate sharing what we find with each other. The tag will be brainscience, spelled as one word. Obviously someone who doesn’t listen to the Brain Science Podcast could choose the same tag, but it would like bring our attention to something relevant. In addition, since del.icio.ous automatically creates an RSS feed for each tag, I have created a special feed that you can subscribe to if you want to keep track of what is being added by others. Notice that the last 3 items added will always appear in the left side bar of this website.

I have believed in the value of the dialectical process since long before I knew there was a term for it and have always believed that honest criticism serves the criticized, the critic, and those witnessing the process. So I LOVE that Dean decided to specifically address one of my criticisms. I questioned Dean’s assertion that “Google’s search results are emblematic of an approaching crisis with information overload”. Dean writes: Google most certainly is emblematic (a visible symbol) of information overload, and in fact is the information specialist’s laboratory for it. I see honest disagreement here. I think Google is emblematic of the way that the clever application of technology overcomes &#822... davidrothman.net blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1143311 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:01:38 +0100 1143311 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1134482&cid=t_91939_86_f&fid=34464&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FDavidrothmannet%2F%7E3%2F212989950%2F I was asked recently in an interview: “You’ve written quite a bit about Web 2.0 tools and medical librarianship […snip…] Are there ways in which you see health sciences librarianship 2.0 as differing from Library 2.0?” I answered that I’m actually not all that fond of the the “2.0″ suffix, whether it is applied to “Web,” “Library,” “Medicine” or “Health.” This answer was lame and incomplete, something I’m not proud of. Even though I’m not entirely happy with it, maybe this one will be better. The term “Web 2.0″ is a metaphor representing the idea that the Web is in it’s “second version”. It is not, in my view, a particularly good metaphor.

You know: what everyone else is using to learn and talk about current events, their health, their job prospects, their friends and coworkers…their healthcare providers. The critical stuff. Health and Human Services Director, Michael Leavitt, recently put it like this: It’s obvious that the medical establishment has yet to complete the jump to the Internet Age. Our health care system has fallen behind every sector of our economy, from car repairs to manufacturing to air travel, for no good reason. There’s something wrong when you can walk away from a bank or mechanic with a detailed, easy-to-read printout but, when it comes to your health, you’re left hoping the pharmac...

I mean, I’d like to follow the RSS feed of the search term genetics on Youtube, for example. Jan answered: You can create RSS feeds for tags. FI: rss for genetics will be http://www.youtube.com/rss/tag/genetic.rss. For search related rss-feeds on YouTube you could try referd.info. The feed that Jan suggests will only contain videos that have been tagged “genetic.” It won’t contain videos that have the word “genetics” elsewhere in their metadata. To capture videos that have “genetics” anywhere in their metadata, try this feed: http://www.youtube.com/rss/search/genetics.rss Unfortunately, this simple way of creating a search-based YouTube feed (http&#5... davidrothman.net blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1049809 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:43:00 +0100 1049809 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1049810&cid=t_91939_86_f&fid=34464&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FDavidrothmannet%2F%7E3%2F190516848%2F BioMed Central announced on Friday that they’ve launched a YouTube Channel. In addition to our YouTube channel, we are working with SciVee to ensure the visibility and linking of PubCasts featuring BioMed Central articles. For example, SciVee currently features a pubcast by Apostol Gramada in which he describes the research he published in BMC Bioinformatics. Berci seems pretty excited about the prospect of more publishers doing the same, but I find myself wondering how much money and time publishers (or writers/editors) are going to invest in producing video content to compliment or promote their written works. Should be interesting to keep an eye on, regardless.
