I appologize for the lack of posts these last two days, I have been sick. I am feeling a little better to check my email and do a bit of blogging.

Here is an interesting article for anyone interested in health and medical news on the Internet.

Abstract:
News changes constantly. That change and the abundance of Web-based news resources available complicate finding the news. This paper reviews sixteen different online news sources for their coverage of recent health and medical issues; both general-interest and medical news sites are included. Three health-related news stories were searched in all resources within set timeframes to provide a comparison of coverage. Features and types of resources are described. The use of RSS feeds and weblogs to find news is also discussed with suggestions for using news aggregators to control the flow of information.
