For a wealth of information and links related to this topic, please read Alex Howard's recent O'Reilly Radar post, "Here come the healthcare apps:  A look at the applications--and the big opportunities--showcased at the Community Health Data Forum."

Information from  HHS.gov/Open: 

Illustration of Design Framework for HHS Community Health Data Initiative


"... working with a growing array of technology companies, researchers, health advocates, employers, media, consumer advocates, marketers, providers, etc., we are seeking to identify the uses of this data that would do the most to raise awareness of health performance, help motivate civic leaders and citizens to improve performance, and help improvers do the improving.  

Potential examples include:

Lost Search Ranking for some keywords but improved SERP of other keywords of your website

Lost Search Ranking for some keywords but improved SERP of other keywords of your website

Lost Search Ranking for some keywords but improved SERP of other keywords of your website

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 04:29 AM PDT

If you are a webmaster  you too may face the issues like loosing search ranking (SERP) of your website for some keywords while ranking of other keywords improved. Most of the time this situation happens when your website is not too old and you are in a stage to develop the site with more new articles. I am writing this post because one of my friend who is a webmaster faced this issue. He was getting good amount of traffic to his website from certain keywords and lost traffic from that keywords suddenly. While analyzing the issue he found that he lost his high ranking for that keywords in Google. He is lucky that some other keywords starts getting more traffic so his website didn't show much drop in traffic. Here I am just writing some thoughts on this issue for better understanding the real reasons behind this scenario.

Reasons for sudden drop in ranking for certain keywords of your website




All the reasons below are based on simple logic on how Google and other major Search Engines work. Here I don't think about the possible Google penalty that your website is appearing in good positions by different keywords.


1. Possible Google dance which reduced your keyword rank 


May be it is the Google dance which caused sudden drop of your website ranking in certain keywords. If it is the real reason, you may recover your keyword rank with in some weeks.


2. Possible Search Algorithm update

Search Engines are always in their way to provide better results to its users. So they update their Search algorithm every time, some algorithm update may badly affect your keyword ranking.

3. Competitor is doing better than you

If competitor succeed in gaining more trust in Google for those keywords, they will appear above your website. It clearly shows the basic rule survival of fittest.


4. Lost backlinks with those keywords as anchor text


If you need to rank better in Google search result, you should have high quality backlinks with proper keywords as anchor text. If you lost some quality backlinks with those keywords as anchor text , it will affect your search ranking position.



5. Google manually removed the juice flowing from spammy links


If you are in a way to create backlinks in artificial way and Google find it, they may remove the value of those backlinks and as a result your keyword ranking will decrease. This situation may look like Google penalty for your website but actually your domain is not getting any penalty. Here Google only removed links which look like spamming and due to this the backlink count of your website reduces.

The Four Different Types of Linux Users

The Four Different Types of Linux Users

The Four Different Types of Linux Users

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:47 AM PDT

In the three years I have been using Linux as my primary operating system I've taken note that in general there are four different types of Linux users. Each one fits a distinct niche and it is possible to change from one type into another over time.

The Computer User:
This is a person that feels no emotional ties to FOSS/Linux. The computer is a tool to get the job done and they use Linux because it is the best tool for the job they are trying to accomplish. If Windows or OSX was better suited for the task, then they would be using that instead. They may have no idea of what FOSS or Linux is, they just know their computer works when they need it to. Odds are Linux was installed on their system by friend or relative who is a Linux Advocate or FOSS Extremist who was tried of fixing issues that kept popping up on Windows.

The Dual Booter:
Typically someone who has some computer savvy about them. Odds are they decided to give Linux a try because they just caught an interesting article about a shiny new distro release on Digg or because they know a Linux Advocate who recommended it. They might make a forum post or two to try and solve an issue they are having, but odds are if the distro doesn't "just work" they will start going on about how Linux "isn't ready for the average user" or "will never make it as a desktop operating system". If their Linux install does work, they still keep Windows around because they are a "gamer" or because they need to use a piece of Windows software that does not have a decent FOSS/Linux alternative as of yet.

Linux Advocate:
Someone who uses Linux because they feel it is a superior or more stable operating environment. Typically this is someone who knows their way around the computer a bit and isn't afraid to post on a forum asking a question or get their hands dirty with a bit of terminal code to get their system up and running. While they love the power of FOSS they realize at the same time that the entire world does not work in this manner (although it would be great if it did). They are typically willing to use restricted codecs and closed source video drivers to get the performance and functionality they need out of their system. While it is not uncommon for them to recommend Linux to their family and friends, most times they will even help them get it setup, they realize that some people are happy with Windows and they acknowledge this.

FOSS Extremist:
They use Linux not only because it is fast and stable, but because it is FOSS. They view software that is closed source as something evil that must be conquered or changed for the good of man kind. The know the ins and outs of their system - most times for an FOSS Extremist the GUI is optional. If their hardware does not work right "out of the box" on their favorite distro they are willing to spend hours pouring over manuals and help pages to get it working. They almost constantly preach about the evils of Windows and Apple and take every chance they get to convert those they know to Linux or and FOSS operating system.

Do you think I covered most Linux users here? If not let me know other "types" of Linux users you think there are in the world. If I did cover them all where do you fit into my four different categories? Perhaps you are even a mix of two, personally I find myself somewhere inbetween FOSS Extremist and Linux Advocate depending on my mood.

MiPony – The new way to download from Rapidshare

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 07:30 PM PDT


I pride myself on being one that doesn’t use warez and will download from Rapidshare and Megaupload only if a Linux distro or a legal source of information is only available that way or if it’s faster that way. And seeing as sometimes, a distribution’s site is overwhelmed by people trying to download it, like [...]
