Health 2.0: The Movement
Here’s the conference intro / wrap-up video on the recent Health 2.0 event in San Francisco. I am not posting this because I like to see myself on camera, believe you me. Because honestly, I think I look yucky on camera these days (you heard me — yucky! — pale with dark circles and all that).
But this short V-report from ICYou (the new “YouTube of Healthcare”) sums up the conference and the movement that is Health 2.0 better than I could with any number of cleverly worded bullet points.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming: life with diabetes (the best we can make of it

I especially liked Matthew Holt’s comment, “It’s all about communities.”
Posted by: Colleen | September 28th, 2007 at 3:29 pmA little over two years ago I was told I have diabetes. Thanks to an article in the Wall Street Journal, I found Diabetes Mine, and was off and reading blogs and more blogs. Hadn’t done that before and can’t do without it now. Amy graciously responded to my first note and I felt like I’d found a friend.
Back when I was a new mom – 30 years ago – I probably wouldn’t have survived motherhood without my friends’ support. I feel the same way now. The knowledge and support of other bloggers w/ diabetes, our community, has been a tremendous help to me.
So – thanks Amy, and the rest of you who continue to inform me/us!
Great job Amy and you

Amy
You look great. Thanks for the pointer to the summary video.
It’s interesting that search is mentioned a few times. I wonder if they’re talking about something other than just Google or my diabetes search engine.
Do you know whether any podcasts from the conference are available?

plus many more to come, I’m sure.
Posted by: AmyT | September 30th, 2007 at 5:56 pmI’m not sure what the hold-up is… maybe they have re-thought their stance on how this is going to actually make the company any money. Or perhaps their lawyers pointed out the liability of providing agents a platform to stick their feet in their mouth. Whatever it is, it’s hardly something I’d claim as being “Well done”.
