Are you ready for it?”

Three rules of open spaces that have emerged on the Internet (1) no body owns it,
(2) everybody uses it and
(3) anyone can improve it.
The Internet is characterized with (1) openness, (2) peering, (3) sharing, and (4) acting globally

What are Web 2.0, Health 2.0 & Medicine 2.0?
“Medicine 2.0 applications, services and tools are Web-based services for health care consumers, caregivers, patients, health professionals, and biomedical researchers, that use Web 2.0 technologies as well as semantic web and virtual reality tools, to enable and facilitate specifically social networking, participation, apomediation, collaboration, and openness within and between these user groups.”

What are the issues?
Hughes et al. argue there are four major tensions represented in the literature on Health/Medicine 2.0:
lack of clear definitions;
issues around the loss of control over information traditionally the purview of health care providers;
safety and the dangers of inaccurate information; and
issues of ownership and privacy• Hughes B, Joshi I, Wareham J
