Has Google become a copycat?
It gets all kinds of kudos for being innovative, but as Eric Schmidt presents this morning to the HiMMS about Google's Personal Health Record, I heard someone earlier in the week at the conference say "well, they had to match HealthVault that Microsoft announced last year"
This morning, as Google announces what it has done to its JotSpot acquisition last year, blogworld asks "Sharepoint killer?"
Killer, or not, let's agree Google is the one trailing.....at least for now.
BTW - I am hearing several MS Dynamics resellers say Sharepoint has a lot of momentum in the SME market.
Vinnie, have you tried to use HealthVault? I have... it's for IT Specialists, not real world patients.
A super-complex, super-secure fiasco, that won't help patients.

Zoli - see my lament earlier that healthcare technology in general has not done much for us consumers...so not sure we should just beat up on MS

Vinnie, I am not picking on MS, but since I started to manage my Dad's health care last year, I've found several lesser name sites that are useable by regular folks, vs. the Microsoft Fortress called HealthVault.
