In4MD.com is the only website of its kind, offering a “social networking” platform for medical doctors all over the United States.

March 6 2008 – In4MD.com, a networking website for medical doctors in the United States, is working hard to create a ‘tour’ that allows potential members to explore all of the handy features offered by the service. The website tour uses real screenshots of various aspects of the service and website in order to better describe the ease of use and great list of features that come with being a member.  

By viewing the In4MD.com tour, potential members will learn through descriptions and screenshots that they can: 

  • Communicate with colleagues using secure e-mail with HIPAA compliant security features.
  • Create personal webpage profiles and view the webpage profiles of colleagues and other medical practitioners in the area.
  • Find classmates from medical school using In4MD forums and profiles.
  • Find medical equipment, employment opportunities, recreational items, office space and more using the In4MD classified ads system.

 

By developing the In4MD.com website, Dr. Alan Raymond is making it possible for doctors to communicate more easily over the Internet with other doctors and medical professionals, as well as allowing medical experts to be consulted more easily, and more time to be saved in the entire process. Doctors no longer have to wait for e-mails to return or for pages to be answered, as they can post questions directly to the IN4MD website and then can check their messages at any time they please 

In4MD is a service that is being made available to all licensed medical doctors in the continental US. In4MD is a service only for medical doctors, and other professionals are not permitted to register for the community. The community makes it possible to communicate professionally without using personal e-mail to do it, and also makes it possible to communicate on a wide scale by sending messages to multiple colleagues and business acquaintances at once.  

By providing a central hub from which doctors can communicate with one another, it has become even easier than ever for doctors to communicate with colleagues, to exchange medical equipment, to hunt for new work and even to hire new employees.

 

In4MD’s tour page is constantly growing to show a variety of useful and invaluable features that will be offered by this medical doctor-driven community.

Google sued over patent by Northeastern University

Google Inc faces a federal patent infringement lawsuit by Northeastern University over technology used in its core Web search system, according to legal papers filed last week.The complaint was filed on November 6 in Marshall, in the Eastern District of Texas — the U.S. court with a history of decisions that are highly favorable to plaintiffs in patent cases — but the case only came to light over the weekend.

The plaintiffs are Boston-based Northeastern University and Jarg Corp, a start-up founded by a Northeastern University professor that is the exclusive licensee of search technology patented in 1997, a year before Google was incorporated. Full article.

Increasing collaboration with web design customers or subcontractors

Not so long ago businesses wasted thousands on the phone or costly plane trips. Internet nowadays gives a great opportunity for them to save time and money in order to organize a webinar or a web conference. Many web design specialists have understood that to use just one web conferencing product is essential for collaboration and meetings. Imagine a Chicago web design company having offices in India and Russia and customers in Australia. Or a Toronto SEO company that needs to agree the proposed SEO changes with the customer in Los Angeles and employees in Belarus. How do you put all this together? Web meeting software seems to be the only solution!

What is so specific about a web-conferencing software that makes it stand apart from other software products that allow creating online meetings?
One of the very specific features of a modern web-based web-conferencing software is video conferencing capabilities that allow participants to see each other, the built-in audio (VoIP), the presentation of Power Point documents and screen and documents sharing opportunitites. Many companies have already declared that a web-based web-conferencing software has allowed them to communicate and carry out every day’s work in a more secure manner.

Online-meetings are essential if your company needs to be well-informed about all the changes and if there is a necessity to organize a meeting where all the employees are to be present you can’t but use a special remote desktop control software even when all the participants are on vacation or abroad. There are no borders for such a revolutionary software – you just install it and your cooperation will definitely increase.

Google Analytics to track site search activity.

Today at the eMetrics Summit in Washington, D.C. Brett Crosby announced several Google Analytics features that will be rolled out over the coming weeks. Here’s a rundown.

First, you’ll be able to use Google Analytics to track site search activity. Simply edit any of your Google Analytics profiles to enable “Site Search” and you can find out what people search for on your site and where these searches lead. Located in the Content section of your Google Analytics reporting interface, Site Search reports show you the keywords and search refinement keywords people use, the pages from which people begin and end their searches. You can also see how search on your site affects site usage, conversion rates, and e-commerce activity. (BTW, if you don’t have a search box on your site, you might want to try the free and newly launched Google Custom Search Engine.)

We’ll begin a limited beta test of the new Google Analytics Event Tracking capability. These new reports are designed to help you understand how people use and interact with Ajax, Flash and multimedia on your site without artificially increasing your pageview metrics. In order to provide a way for you to define and track a wide variety of applications and interactions, there will be a new tracking module called ga.js. Using ga.js on your site instead of urchin.js means you can continue to take advantage of the latest advanced tracking enhancements (such as Event Tracking) as we release them. Although we suggest everyone upgrade to the new JavaScript, if you aren’t interested in Event Tracking and you’re already getting all the information you need from Google Analytics, you don’t need to change your tags.

Google and I.B.M. are announcing today a major research initiative to address that shortcoming.

Even the nation’s elite universities do not provide the technical training needed for the kind of powerful and highly complex computing Google is famous for, say computer scientists. So Google and I.B.M. are announcing today a major research initiative to address that shortcoming.

The two companies are investing to build large data centers that students can tap into over the Internet to program and research remotely, which is called “cloud computing.”

Both companies have a deep business interest in this new model in which computing chores increasingly move off individual desktops and out of corporate computer centers to be handled as services over the Internet.

Google, the Internet search giant, is the leader in this technology. But companies like Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and Microsoft have built Internet consumer services like search, social networking, Web e-mail and online commerce that use cloud computing. In the corporate market, I.B.M. and others have built Internet services to predict market trends, tailor pricing and optimize procurement and manufacturing. Full article.

Federal jury yesterday found a Minnesota woman liable for copyright infringement for sharing music

The verdict against Jammie Thomas of Brainerd, Minn., brought an end to the first jury trial in the music industry’s protracted effort to rein in piracy with lawsuits against individual computer users. Since 2003, record labels have brought legal action against about 30,000 people, accusing them of trafficking in copyrighted songs.

Many of the people sued in such cases settle out of court for, on average, about $4,000, according to the industry’s trade association. Ms. Thomas chose to face trial instead, saying that she did not share files on the Kazaa network as the labels contended. She and her lawyer declined to comment after leaving the courthouse.

The jury verdict, which called for $9,250 in damages for each of the 24 songs involved in the trial, came after brief deliberations.

Earlier, the judge in the case, Michael J. Davis of Federal District Court, ruled in the industry’s favor on a hotly contested technical question, saying that for jurors to find her liable, the record labels did not have to prove that songs on Ms. Thomas’s computer had actually been transmitted to others online. Rather, the act of making them available could be viewed as infringement, the judge ruled.  Full article.

Vista Expectations Lowered

Microsoft had high expectations for customer adoption of Vista, and claimed the launch would be one of the most successful in Windows history. Unfortunately for the company, those predictions so far haven’t panned out, and in July, Microsoft lowered its projections for customer adoption of Vista. The company had said the split between XP and Vista sales in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, would be 15 percent to 85 percent; now the company is saying the split will be 22 percent XP and 78 percent Vista.

According to some, that may even be optimistic. Paul Ghysels, a custom system builder who owns the Neighborhood Computer Store in Moraga, California, said that Microsoft has “really blown Vista.” He said he’s not surprised Microsoft extended the availability of XP for OEMs. “I figured Microsoft would have to come up with something because Vista is so unprepared for the market right now,” Ghysels said.

People Can Go Without Sex Longer Than The Internet.

Not tonight, Honey. I’m online.
Sound familiar? A survey of about 1,000 Americans showed that the Internet has become such an essential part of their every-day lives that 28% said they spend less time socializing with friends because of it. And 20% said they spend less time having sex because they’re too busy online, according to a study by advertising agency JWT.

“It’s clear that there’s been a huge cumulative shift in what we do and what we pay attention to, thanks to new technologies,” said Bob Jeffrey, chairman and CEO of JWT, in a written statement. “Increasingly, you will see the emergence of truly passionate ‘digitivity denizens,’ or people who thrive in a technology-enabled universe. They see their cell phones as extensions of themselves, their online and offline lives are co-mingled, and they would choose a Wi-Fi connection over television any day. Trending younger, these are people who don’t distinguish between old and new media — in fact, new media is not thought of as new, it’s just media.” Full article.
