Nice approach

It is a nice approach and I heard that IBM has launched social networking tool called Lotus Connections. They should like the two to create a powerful application in this space.

Please read my review of currently available health-based social networking and information sites here: http://www.technacular.com/category/healthcare/

This IBM's answer to "medical mashup"...

... looks like a great idea. How about extending this (if one does not already exists) to the "global business intelligence" spectrum!

Re: A "global business intelligence" mashup...

... that can show just "How Strong The Union" is? Very Strong" one should think; at least, in a certain industrial sector (banking) from the rocking "Christmas" Bonuses!

IBM's Answer

IBM's credibility on ANYTHING dealing with medical issues, went out the window when they severly decreased their retirees benefits. IBM is much better at creating HUGE, retirement packages for their board members and CEO's (Gerstner's was worth $250 million)than at rewarding the efforts of the people who actually made them famous.
