Technorati Favorites

It seems a lot of threads are being spawned by bloggers asking others to add them to their Technorati favorites.

There's a free utility available that virtually automates the process of adding to yours everyone who has added you. Find it at:
internetducttape.com/tools/technorati-favorite-your-fans/
Run it daily or as often as you choose and it quickly catches you up.
Having said that, here's my pitch. Add me to your faves and I will definitely, automatically reciprocate. Hopefully you'll post in this thread to say that you'd added me and the next person to visit will add both of us, and so on. That will help keep the thread fresh and on the front page of this group's discussions for a while.
O.K., here are mine in order that I would like fav'ed:

A visit would be nice, a comment doubly so.
Thanks in advance!

Personal Productivity Wiki

http://productivity.wikia.com

I just started a wiki for personal productivity.

The focus of the Productivity Wiki is to document ALL resources for personal productivity.

Increasing personal productivity through various means of personal development can also impact professional, management and organization development.

We wish to include all ideas, tools and processes to improve personal, workgroup and enterprise productivity and innovation.

A review of the complete personal development library from which to people may get started in cultivating is also offered.

WE CORDIALLY REQUEST ANYBODY INTERESTED IN TOPIC TO PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THIS WIKI THE SAME WAY THAT YOU MAY CONTRIBUTE TO WIKIPEDIA

PARTICULARLY NEEDED ARE BLOGGERS SUCH AS MERLIN MANN AND OTHERS TO SPREAD THE WORD TO INTERESTED PARTIES TO HELP DEVELOP THIS SITE STARTED THIS SEPTEMBER 4TH 2008

Needed are documentation, reviews and evaluations of your favorite techniques, methods, software, hardware, tools etc.

For example for Getting Things Done (GTD) one can have an encyclopedia type article documenting the facts about the book, methods, etc. and then maybe many more articles about real world experience and use and comparison of GTD vs. other approaches.

The Best Doctor?

I just commented on a post made by Paul Levy @ http://runningahospital.blogspot.com/

Could not agree more with this post and it is equally true for Doctors as it is for hospitals. Who is "the best" cardiologist? Urologist? Dermatologist?

Patients ask friends and doctors they know for referrals. Do these people really know who is the best... Indeed not, a mythology exists here as well. Referrals are based on such things as visibility, reputation, amiability, affability, availability, sociability and longevity. Very rarely indeed are they based on ABILTY.

I recommend patients go to a specialty group practice and ask very specifically the nurses and assistants who work directly with all the doctors (in surgery if it concerns surgeons) which one they would send their sick relative to. Often it may not be the esteemed head of the practice they were originally recommended.
