New Member Update ... Who Are We? ... What Do We Do? ... What's New! (October 2009-Part1)

[CC...Conrad Clyburn (Clymer Grp)]

Colleagues,

In the continuing quest to bring you the 3Cs of "Content, Community & Collaboration", we continue to add new and intriguing members..

So, what have you been doing at "MedTech-IQ"?

According to Google analytics, we now number 837 members. Of those, 310 are Academic "Pioneers", 420 represent Industry "Colonizers" (emerging businesses) or "Consolidators" (large corporations), and 88 are Government officials. 19 of you haven't declared a "Triple Helix" sector ... so, let's get those member profiles up to date!

On a typical day, last Wednesday, 366 international visitors spent time with us ... for the month a little over 6,000 visitors dropped by from 87 countries/territories. Collectively, you consumed over 17,000 page views for the month, and spent anywhere from 3:00 to 6:00 minutes online per visit pursuing the 3C's: accessing new Content, engaging the Community or Collaborating with other "MedTech-IQ" Members.

Remember, try out the new collaborative tools, doxTop (get published online), Box.Net (collaborative documents), and VoxBox (create a poll).

Let me know what you think of these, and what you want in the future. Of course, public and private chat is always available at the bottom of the home page.

New members include experts in Health 2.0, TeleICU, serious gaming, public health, private equity, health information technology and HIEs ... and come to us from the USA, Canada, Ethiopia, Australia, Maldives and Germany.

And here now ... our new members!

Please let them know they are welcome.

New members: Please fill in your profiles if you wish other members with interests in your skills to find you!
