Medical Blog-O-Sphere…

With the US of A’s attention riveted on Wall Street, government bailouts, and housing foreclosures, another issue of prime concern to Americans in this election year has been shoved out of the spotlight: the candidate’s positions on healthcare reforms. Both of them is with their own blogs on the healthcare reforms. And here in India, the new Super power (American Senate approved the Indo- US Nuclear deal without the killer amendment) PUBLIC SMOKING is banned. Wherever, whoever and whenever they blog, HEALTH MATTERS.

Dr. JKC Mazumdar in my office says – “ I am a part time blogger (successfully completed two blogs, ONLINE MEDICAL CONSULTATION – A Doc’s Perspective and DOCTORING SANS ‘STETHE’SCOPE. Have you read and commented on them and if not please do that now) and my blogs are more on the Healthcare and the Consumerism…

Interestingly I heard about the History of Blogs: A blog (contraction from Weblog) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. The history of blogs is closely connected with the history of the Internet itself. One of the world’s first websites was started in 1992 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, and featured a news section pointing to new websites as they came online. This website can be considered the earliest predecessor of modern blogs. Most of the people who were creating websites at that time were computer experts using them as their online diaries to write about their personal lives. The actual term “Web log” was coined in 1997 and shortened to “blog” in 1999. It was not until 1999 that blogging started to become popular among a broader population of Internet users, coinciding with the launch of Live Journal and Blogger, the first dedicated blog hosting services.”
