08 May 07 ShareThis, tell everyone about your favourite sites

Not to be confused with AddThis, the application to submit your blog posts to several social sites and readers, ShareThis is a new useful tool allowing you to share with your group of people the websites you like most, you find interesting, or you simply want to share for the sake of making someone aware of it :-).

Although we are being invaded by tons of ways to sharing content, and most of us finally end up sending the typical email with the url included, at least Sharethis is quite simple and does not make it complicated to spread the word about interesting stuff you found out surfing the web.

To use it you basically need to create an account, where you can import your contacts, and use the toolbar they provide. When you find something interesting, just use the features in the toolbar to send it to whoever you want. It is as easy as that :-).

07 May 07 Medgle, search your symptoms

Thanks to What’s New we have found an interesting website for those of you who really hate going to the doctor just to discover you got a simple cold. I am not really in favour of this kind of self-medical advice, but ok, the site is at least original and it can be used together with your medical consultation should you wish to get more info about some symptoms you may have.

We talk about Medgle, a personalized medical search by doctors for everyone, where you can enter the symptoms you have, your age, gender, if you smoke, etc and push “search”. The system will then let you know how many possible illnesses you may have… as said, I don’t really recommend you do this and then go directly to the pharmacy….
