- 2007 Crunchies: The Winners (TechCrunch): I use Facebook, Twitter, Digg, iMedix and StumbleUpon.
- Why Do I Blog? (Ves Dimov from Clinical Cases and Images):
Currently, there are more than 2,000 subscribers via RSS and more than 1,000 daily website visitors but even if nobody reads it, I will still keep the blog up. Why? Because I have found that writing a blog can be useful, educational, entertaining and time-efficient. It creates your own section of the web that you own and trust. It also creates a relationship with some of the smartest people around the world that you would probably have never had the chance to meet otherwise.
Hi Bertalan
I’m an Italian medical student, living in Florence.
I found your work on scienceroll.com yesterday and I browsed your archives far and wide. I really enjoyed that, so at the moment I’m following you via RSS.
Trust me your blog is useful, educational, entertaining and time-efficient for me too.
I can imagine the effort you spend to run it, but it’s a pleasure to read someone admitting how rich this effort (any effort?) could be. “For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.”: beutiful ant true, isn’t it?
I’ll start a similar experience as soon as possible, I’ve been working on it for 2-3 months. Maybe I’ll ask you for some inspiration!
Valentina,
Thank you for the nice words and encouragement!
iformed.org seems to be great (the design is perfect). Let me know please if you need any kind of help regarding content issues or methods to promote your blog.
It’s always my pleasure if a medical student joins the blogopshere.

I really enjoy your blog! Most of it is over my head, as I am not a medical student. I care for my Dad, who has Alzheimer’s disease and lives with me in North Carolina. When my Mom died and he moved in with me, I had to learn all about his disease.
I am trying to learn everything I can about the medical field, since I feel that I will spend the rest of my years caring for the elderly.
If any of you get a chance to glance at my website, I would appreciate any feedback. I put it together from a caregiver standpoint, and may need some medical opinions!
Thanks again for the free education.
