On some other blog I've read that Google also plans to move into human-powered health search. Have you heard of that? If so, this would mean that Google would lose its key competitive advantage over Yahoo. This would also mean that Microsoft using its Medstory will get ahead.

Another problem (for both Google and Microsoft) is their focus on "health care" (read "medical care").

The world is quickly moving to a broader health model based on health determinants, while these two big companies are fighting "health care" wars. Health care doesn't equal health. Health determinants equal health. Some rudiments of health determinants (like exercise and diet) are present in many e-products. But it's not enough in the future health world which will be all about prevention.

The first large company that will put this simple health principle into action will lead the new wellness industry. For a long time. Because it will set the standards. And most important, that company will truly help billions of people for generations to come... Best wishes!

WellnessAid
