Next week a startup is launching that’s effectively Yelp for people
Probably the most exciting service I heard about at SXSW this year.
It has the potential to effect culture significantly.
Not sure why Arrington didnt mention the company by name but I’ll follow suit and wait until launch. After-all I wouldnt want to get a bad review :)
UPDATE: unvarnished was the name of the service

Please stop calling this healthcare reform. It’s health insurance reform. There’s a huge difference. Healthcare reform would have tried to solve two things at once:
How we pay for care.
How we deliver care.
Health insurance reform simply changes who writes the check for the same poorly…

rafer sez: Horsepuckey. The only startups that are in a “furious race against time” are the ones who choose to be. If you are clever enough to figure out how to jump on to a landgrab early, you are generally clever enough to find a...

WatchI wish there was an autoreblog feature for anything jayparkinsonmd posts:
Making health simple:
Living in such a complicated world can seem so complex. But we’re creatures of habit. Ninety-three percent of our behavior is predictable.
