How and Why to use Second Life for Education? ScienceRoll.com.
Berci Mesko explains why education has its golden age in Second Life virtual world.
100 Web Resources for Medical Professionals. Nursing Online Education Database | NOEDb.
If you are employed in the medical field or are currently studying medicine, the 100 Web sites collected by NOEDb may be a good place to start. One hundred web sites may be too many or not enough, depending on one's perspective. During one of my recent talks about Web 2.0 in Medicine with Cleveland Clinic residents, I mentioned that I subscribe to 600 web sites to which one of the residents replied: "I probably don't even know the names of 600 web sites..." You do not have to read 100, 600 or even 5 web sites. Do what interests you and suits your research profile. A journalist once asked one of the best hedge fund managers on Wall Street how he gets the latest up-to-the-minute news -- by email alerts,RSS or watching Bloomberg TV... "From yesterday's newspaper," the manager replied modestly. It is not the data, it is what you do with it.
World's First Human-Powered, Doctor-Guided Search Service for Health by OrganizedWisdom.
"The New Health Search Engine Weeds out Spam Sites, Redundant Links and Clutter by Using People to Find and Organize the Best Health Resources on the Web." Nothing beats the combination of UpToDate/Pubmed/Google in my opinion but who knows, may be OrganizedWisdom's WisdomCard is the answer for some people.
Google News Image View: Allergy. Allergy Notes.
The image view allows you to quickly browse through a visual display of news articles of your interest -- just substitute "allergy" in the search query with any other topic, for example, "cholesterol."

Health 2.0: User-Generated Healthcare Conference 2007. Health Care Law Blog.
Bob Coffield live-blogged the conference: "... there was an incredible amount of excitement and enthusiasm around what is happening as this group tries to figure out how best to position themselves and their companies in this new non-traditional health sector. I was also struck by the fact that many of those who have jumped in with new ventures have done so as a result of a personal family health story or a frustration with how they were treated by the current health care system."
My Talk on "Health 2.0" for the 5th Annual Healthcare M&A and Corporate Development Conference. The Efficient MD.

Are Physicians Marginalized in Health 2.0? John Sharp.
Yes, they may be marginalized but this is not unexpected. Most physicians are too busy seeing patients (and writing guides how to penetrate unprotected social networks). By the way, anybody can start a social network now on Ning.com. UOP and one of the Boston schools already did.
Social Bookmarking for Physicians. DavidRothman.net.
David Rothman, one of the most productive blogging medical librarians, writes about PeerClip, the newest contender for the title of “Digg for Medical Literature.” Maybe it would be better to call it a “Digg/del.icio.us for Medical Literature.”
