David Rothman links to a comprehensive review of the use of different Web 2.0 tools in medicine in the Medical Journal of Australia: The effect of Web 2.0 on the future of medical practice and education: Darwikinian evolution or folksonomic revolution?
In the section about blogs, the authors mention this web site along with Dean Guistini’s UBC Academic Search — Google Scholar Blog, David's blog, and ScienceRoll.
The article provides a good overview of most of the basics of what I call the 6 axes of medical education in Web 2.0 style:
Unfortunately, the review failed to mention AskDrWiki which is, in my opinion at least, one of the best medical wikis providing high-quality and unique content. AskDrWiki features more than 140 coronary angiogram videos from the number one heart center in America for 13 years in a row -- Cleveland Clinic.
Such omissions can be fixed in the future by using an approach similar to the newly-launched Google News comments -- if you are included in a news story and you want to clarify a point, comments can be added directly to the news report.
My presentation on Web 2.0 in Medicine from December 2006.
