I explored a few sites before finding one I wanted to blog about: Pandora, a music site, unavailable to users outside the U.S.; Mangolanguages - good reviews but one's progress would probably be slow, judging by the short videos watched and one needed to buy the software; Yelp -good for travellers to the U.S.
I finally decided on Revolutionhealth, a very busy, colourful site with lots to look at and judged first in its category. There were good links to respected health sites e.g. New England Journal of Medicine, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The content is current, most recent date was 10 Sept 2008. Health Record is a secure place to keep your health information. The Community button links to blogs, forums and groups - enabling you to select a topic from a list, join discussions, share stories and find people with like problems while The Store button leads you to a drug store where you can purchase health related products. Overall excellent detail on a good range of medical conditions and related information.
Library applications? I would suggest the site as an alternative to Health and Wellness, as another option, and a site where people can communicate and share their personal medical
stories and experiences.

I do enjoy your little play on words - caught in the web too - nice! I've finished it all and now can relax and reflect on what was learned or not. I did enjoy it though and did learn a great deal. Now comes the payoff. How to use it all. I must contact our mutual author for a copy of his book and to check on how he self-published.
You've given us a great overview of Revolutionhealth - it is certainly a site I'd like to explore after reading your comments.
Checked in to see how you are doing. Waiting with bated breath for the next clever litte comment to come cutely tripping from your keyboard to inform, entertain and delight.
Have you seen that Alexander McCall Smith is publishing his latest book online and that anyone can join in with comments and views and suggestions?
The Sky is the Limit, isn't it?
