Web 2.0 For Medical Practice

I read this interesting blog on Web 2.0 for Medical Practices, I agree on his advice “my advice to the medical blogger remains the same: keep on blogging, you make the web a better place”. And this is one of the key reasons for us to blog e24 Medical Billing Blog

On this topic, many people get confused with the term AJAX and Web 2.0, AJAX is not Web 2.0. In fact, it is in many ways in opposition to web 2.0. AJAX applications create web-pages that are less machine-readable / linkable (try bookmarking a google map).

The reason for this confusion is simple. The two memes have grown in tandem with each other in the last year. The same types of developers seem to be using both approaches, and meet at the same conferences

Some Web 2.0 applications (like the remixed google maps/craiglist app) happen to be AJAX applications. AJAX can be a useful approach for making web applications with very rich behavior. It doesn’t have anything to do with the read/write web, which is what web 2.0 is about.

Here is a good example of Medical Billing Online site built on AJAX technology

Web 2.0 is about making websites machine readable so that content can squirt seamlessly between unrelated sites. Technologies like RSS, RESTian APIs, and XHTML/CSS are the core of Web 2.0. Social networks and tagging and attention are at the core of Web 2.0. Not rich client technologies like AJAX.

In true sense AJAX is an enabling technology for Web 2.0
