I do like the idea of message forums categorized by subject, but I'd hate to see competition and negative campaigning against the L. A forum like MeditechTalk could be another useful tool for communicating and finding information. Of course, it would be nice to know a little more about who's maintaining MeditechTalk and why... Will there be a commitment to keeping it up and running or is it just someone's passing fancy? There is this little blurb at the bottom of the page - "MeditechTalk.com is managed by Boldt-On Consulting Inc" link: http://www.boldtonconsulting.com/ It looks like it's just one person running it. John O'Donnell MIS Analyst Cape cod Healthcare -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Julia Carter Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Off-Topic: Meditech Talk? All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I just saw the reference to www.MeditechTalk.com in another message, so naturally I checked it out. First, let me make it clear that I'm not affiliated in any way with either the Meditech-L list or the MeditechTalk web site, so what I have to say is my opinion and mine alone. I'm also not sending this to the L to start anything or cause trouble, but the L is our primary tool for communication and I wanted to share my observations with all of you. The Meditech-L references on MeditechTalk struck me as negative and unnecessary. I quote: "If you were tired of receiving HUNDREDS of emails every day from a certain List, then this site is for YOU! Instead of searching THOUSANDS of DISCONNECTED emails and messages, you can search through a neatly organized website!" In a survey on the Home page, the first two answers to the question "Why will you join the Meditech Talk community?" are "Cannot find anything on the L-List" and "My In Box is too full of L-List messages". I couldn't find any responsible parties' names on the web site, so I don't know who has created it but it might be a good idea. I don't like the impression of competition between a web site and a list, though. I don't like the impression of 'negative campaigning' that these comments give. Huh. I've still been poking around on the web site and I do see that the site admin has a web site listed: Website: http://www.RPhInformatics.com. And . . . the original reference to MeditechTalk came from [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I guess RPHInformatics is the creator/owner/operator of MeditechTalk. And . . . RPHInformatics.com is still "under construction". Curiouser and curiouser. . . Julia Julia F.
