it is amazing. I suggest brightkite, motherfeed, tweetdeck, and google analytics apps - Robert D. Fraser

Onto it... - Mike Cadogan from email

I've ridden only once without a helmet in as long as I can remember. Felt vulnerable! - Adam Loving from StumbleRead

Helmets for cyclists are mandatory in Australia. Still gives me the shudders when I'm travelling and see bareheaded bicyclists on the roads. - Kate Foy

John Crofton pioneered the randomised controlled trial in a 1948 BMJ paper which looked at the antibiotic streptomycin to treat TB. Now in his 90s, Dr Crofton talks to Colin Blakemore about the importance of randomisation and blinding, and how it has helped to make medicine more evidence based. - Adarsh

I want to know how to find local volunteer such as this to bring them to teach our healthcare providers, educators, politicians how they can easily contribute their knowledge for the public good! - Robert D. Fraser

It's pretty wild. I like graphics like that - puts it into simpler perspective. - phil baumann

Thanks Phil, that's a great bird's eye view of net usage. - Ritesh Lal

Ritesh - sure, that's what teh internet is for? :) - phil baumann

It's been said before, but now others are independently grokking the meme. Content is King. WE are the New Content. - michael silverton

I definitely see this, also why I try to highlight the research and leadership of others on my website. - Robert D. Fraser

There was a recent book titled "Creating Conversational Capital" which was basically a new spin on word of mouth. The novel opportunity I see -- only recently made possible with advent of these digital video file artifacts -- is rather Capitalizing Conversation or Creating Conversational Economies with actual, ascribed, and exchanged economic value. Impossible to explain fully in limited chars here, but we'll be building up to this over time. Feel free to join room; would like to learn more of your approach - michael silverton

One of the benefits of being away from bedside nursing is that I've had time to reflect on my own performance. How could I have been better? What simple precepts would have helped? Being out of the "fog of war" has given me a clearer view of what's right and what's wrong in health care. Our culture doesn't offer much positive encouragement for the nursing profession. That's a costly shame, as many Baby Boomers soon will discover. To help out, I've come up with eight ways to become a better nurse. - phil baumann

this is a really good post for nurses to read - Robert D. Fraser

From Gizmodo: "The benefit to a belt drive system over a chain and shifters system is that it won't stretch and break over time like a chain, weighs significantly less, stays clean (and keeps your cuffs clean) and is quiet. The downside? It's more expensive." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet

"stays clean (and keeps your cuffs clean)" - Yep tell me that when that rear sprocket is cludgy with winter grime in London and it starts skipping due to the contents of the towpath getting in among the parts. It's got a chainguard FFS, of course it keeps your cuffs clean, so does a chained bike with one. Absolutely agree about repairability. If I snap a chain anywhere in the world I can take a link out and refix it, can I do that with a belt? Why try and find a solution to 100 years of working? - Alex Murray

And yes, for the iPod Touch, too. - Bill Sodeman

Cool use of friendfeed. - Robert D. Fraser
