Re: Now you can use Google Voice without switching phone numbers

This is great news. Yes, I use Google Voice on my iPhone -- just use the web app! And this allows me to forward all my iPhone regular voicemail to Google for transcription. I can also do customized greetings for my mobile number.

I think this is good news to ATT too -- as I will no longer use their congested data network to download voicemail messages on the iPhone.

Louis,

Sorry, I missed the doctations deep dive session, and was not able to get a full understanding of your products. This article is just my personal observations of the conference, and there will be things I miss!

Anyway, I am going through your web site right now, and will keep you guys in mind when I write another article. :)

cheers

MEDgle looks very cool. Is it competing against sites like WebMD or MedHelp?

cheers

Re: Will Health 2.0 startups usher in consumer-driven healthcare?

@pamstrayer: Behavior change and reform on incentives are exactly the topics that have generated a lot of discussions in the health 2.0 conference. I will have a follow up report on the conference tomorrow. Stay tuned! :)

There is probably not enough political will in this country to completely get rid of the profit motive. But the next best thing is to structure the incentives so that people are motivated to do the RIGHT thing instead of the perverse system we have now. We just have to keep trying ...

Re: Ringful creates an iPhone app for finding the best hospital

This app only has US hospitals at this time since the data comes from US government's Medicare official surveys and payment data.

Agree that it is uncertain whether people wants to do this level of research on the phone. On the other hand, I can see people doing this in their primary care doctor's office while the doctor writes up a referrer order for a procedure.

If the sex offender app can be successful, so can this one! :)

Excellent suggestions. The "wisdom of crowds" approach to combating allergy is exactly what we need. :)
