Dean Giustini is the real pioneer of medicine 2.0. As you may know medicine 2.0 is about the impact of web 2.0 on medicine and healthcare. Giustini is the administrator of UBC HealthLib-Wiki – A Knowledge-Base for Health Librarians. That is a unique resource dedicated to this special field of medicine. He has recently defined what evidence-based web 2.0 means:
Evidence-based web 2.0 (EBW2) is the integration of best evidence of social software use in promoting effective time/information management skills in the digital age. In addition to alloting time for experimentation, heuristics and ‘play’, librarians and information specialists will also want to systematically evaluate EBW2 and build a good evidence-base for the future effective application of web 2.0 tools.

I’m trying to create a similarly useful collection at Medicine 2.0.
