At first I just glanced at it, and assumed that somehow whitling time away on Myspace, Facebook or any other related social networks could in fact cure all my ailments and make me the picture of health. But alas no, however it appears aspects of social networking are set to be implemented to improve health services and information dissemination.
From SBS World News Australia:
“Australian researchers believe online social networking could be used to improve the nation’s health. Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have begun a project that will combine social networking techniques with search engine technology specifically tailored to Australians. This will be like a Google search engine - but with a twist, It is designed specifically for health in the Australian context, plus we will be incorporating ideas from social computing like Facebook and Wikipedia“
