med3q.com takes social networking to physicians and health-conscious consumers

February 4, 2023 By Leo Blanco Leave a Comment

med.jpg Developed to interact with other medical professionals and help patients make important lifestyle changes for better health, med3q.com is launched as the first free online social networking site for physicians, their extender staff as well as health-conscious consumers.

It is is the one stop on the Internet that these professionals can customize to their liking for medical and lifestyle information, track continuing medical education, get business advice, news and more. It saves time by pulling together information and tools from around the Internet into one place to help grow a medical practice and foster a healthy bottom line.

“Physicians find it harder and harder to interact with their peers in conferences or meetings because time is the scarcest resource for all of us,” says Dr. Gregory Cooper, D.P.M., MBA, chief medical officer for Mercy Medical Group in Sacramento, Calif., and a med3q Advisory Board member. “med3q’s professional networking capabilities enable us to exchange timely information with peers around the country about the latest developments in our fields without ever leaving the office. That is a tremendous professional help.”

med3q is also free to the general public, for whom the site functions as an online gathering place that enables individuals and groups to share their health stories, events and other information, post blogs, meet online, and much more in a private and secure environment.

Chess.comWith a premium domain as such, I’d have to agree, Chess.com would have made a lot of money already, just parked as it is.

But the owners of Chess.com wants something more. And they made a good decision by turning it into a social network of, obviously, chess enthusiasts around the world.

Social networks drive people to buy online, JC Williams Group says

February 3, 2023 By Rhiza Sanchez 2 Comments

Just a few days ago, a study done by Jupiterresearch claimed that social and community networks have little impact influencing online retail sales.

Contrary to that report, however, a recent study released by JC Williams Group shows that social networks and other online community activities actually drive more people to buy stuff over the internet. This is said to be mostly rooted to buyers getting and exchanging opinions and insights from social networks to help them with their online shopping decisions.

According to the study, online shoppers are most likely to post a product review of their purchased merchandise to the internet, as opposed to those web users who do not shop online. This could only mean that as more people share about their experiences in various networks such as Bebo, Facebook, and Flickr, more people will potentially shop online as well.

“Consumers are increasingly turning to their online community or network for advice instead of traditional mass media,” said Jim Okamura, a senior partner at JC Williams. “It is indicative of the shift to an empowered consumer and the rapid fragmentation of media channels. It definitely presents a challenge for online marketers.”

The survey, sponsored by Visa and Yahoo Canada, took place between April 19 and 27. It included 1,500 online shoppers and 500 people who don’t shop online.

Online video, social networking websites to drive evolution of tomorrow’s digital lifestyle

February 3, 2023 By Minic Rivera Leave a Comment

The evolution of Internet users’ digital media and online habits appears to be transitioning to the digital video age, according to the most recent findings from The Face of the Web, Ipsos Insight‘s annual study of Internet and Technology trends. Over the past few years, the growth of digital music behaviors – particularly downloading music files online and burning CD-Rs – introduced millions of Internet users globally to the virtues of the digital medium, blazing a path for other entertainment media to follow. At the end of 2006, it appears that online video activities seemingly have taken over the torch as the driving force in the next stage of digital media’s growth, having a profound impact on the way consumers access and view video content around the world.

Indeed, participation in online video activities is climbing quickly in many developed markets of the world. Growth in these behaviors was most prevalent within the U.S., where today well over one-third of recent Internet users (36%) have watched a TV show or other video stream online, compared to 28% at the end of 2005, while three-quarters of these adults have done so in the past 30 days.
