    About this blog and this blogger

    More healthcare blogging aggregators

    November 29th, 2005

    two new ones:
    HITSphere, which is focused on healthcare IT
    HealthVoices, which has an interesting "Open Medicine" vision about healthcare. See their healthcare blog list here.

    two older ones:
    Healthcareblogs stopped refreshing its feeds for a while, but now it is back on track.
    MedLogs which categorizes the blogs nicely between physician, nurse, biz, etc.

    so, which one is the best?

    HealthVoices, MedLogs, and Healthcareblogs all segment the various healthcare blogs well. Nonetheless, I think that niche aggregators like HITsphere are going to pick up steam. Healthcare is simply much too broad to aggregate it all for anyone to make sense of it all. Besides, most people only care about one or two professionals/specialties. I can only read so many M.D. blogs before I feel a little out of place.

    Then again, maybe all of these will be leapfrogged by more sophiscated RSS aggregation technology, like a TiVo for webfeeds?

    Comments, Pingbacks:

    Speaking on behalf of HealthVoices, I would add that our goal is to build more than a blog aggregator (which is a start), but a full fledged online health community, designed on the principles of Open Medicine.

    Stay tuned for future announcements!

    Thanks for noting the new HITSphere.com site; the main purpose was for me to be able to have a specialty (community driven) search engine and a single page where I could get the latest stories. When I'm at my desk I read dozens of feeds on my desktop feed aggregator. However, when I'm on the road or discussing something with clients I like to have everything in one easy to use page so that's the general purpose of the HITSphere.com site.

    I totally agree with you that healthcare is too big to have a generic aggregator to suit all purposes. I'm hoping the geeks in healthcare like me find the HITSphere.com useful.
