Re: Web 2.0 is really web as a database

Outstanding article & rapid response discussion. Clearly a topic with great
interest. Bravo!

I especially appreciated comments left by Arindam Basu & Ben Toth.

A full list of Web 2.0 projects related to medicine would be a long one. However,
I would like to highlight one not mentioned in the article.

JournalReview.org
allows open access, post publication peer review, of any article indexed in
PubMed. Similar to BMJ's rapid response, but with a few distinctions.

1. Any article can be discussed.

2. Experts, in addition to the author, are contacted when posts are submitted.


3. An option for anonymous posting is offered

4. Comments are moderated by the community via a flagging system. There is no
pre-publication moderation

Some might say, it is a PubMed mashup.

JournalReview.org has been presented in several international meetings, and
has been discussed in several articles to date. We are actively developing JournalReview.org
to make it even better, including enhancement of our RSS feed tools.

Any and all feedback is welcome.
