Medscape on Smallpox Vaccination I don't often flog stuff on Medscape, but since the whole Smallpox thing is very important and seems to be a hot topic in the Doc Blogosphere, take a look at this package of news, information, polls and discussion groups on the topic on the site. We try to cover this stuff from a healthcare provider's perspective -- with no political agenda attached. That's something I'm fairly sure is hard to find anywhere else. 8:27:21 AM    comment [] Google-opoly Is Google too powerful? It's a tough question. There's no doubt that getting your listing higher on Google is akin to spending a bunch of money on marketing and the resulting traffic is obviously good. (All I know is that if it weren't for people looking for information on Google about Offenbach's most famous opera work, I'd probably have 1/8 the traffic on this blog that I have now!) So far, I think they've done a good job of walking the line, but the potential for them to abuse their Google-opoly is certainly there. Here's a really good story that outlines the challenges faced by Google from Wired. 8:21:07 AM    comment []
