New online health site
p2pnet news view | Advertising:- Online hypochondriacs, and anyone else interested in health issues, will be glad to know a new web page designed to cater to your needs is in hand.
Called the Medpedia Project, it’s a, “long-term, worldwide project to evolve a new model for sharing and advancing knowledge about health, medicine and the body among medical professionals and the general public,” says the site.
“This model is founded on providing a free online technology platform that is collaborative, interdisciplinary and transparent.”
The goal is to, ” evolve a new model for how the world will access medical knowledge in the future,” it says.
Where’s the money coming from?
“Medpedia.com Inc. is funded and maintained by Ooga Labs, a technology greenhouse in San Francisco developing several for-profit, mission-oriented companies to address worldwide needs in health, education, and activism,” it says, adding:
“The current plan is to support the costs of operation with non-invasive, text-based advertising on the Medpedia website through third-party ad networks such as Google’s AdSense.”
There’ll be a ‘Flag inappropriate ads’ provision so, “the community can keep the ads on the site clean and useful,” it promises.
Back in the days when p2pnet had Google Ad Nonsense, we tried to use the ‘flagging’ service to weed out undesirable ads.
If memory serves, a maximum of 200 sites could be thus identified, and it didn’t take long to reach that number.
