Spotting Incompetence Shouldn’t be This Easy
Feb,28,2014
by:+Joseph Goedert
How does one identify an incompetent government administration? When it consistently is the last entity to spot the obvious--time and time again--that is the measure of incompetence. If you just take its missteps and propensity for denial in the health care industry and not count anything else during the past five years, the Obama Administration still proudly yet without a clue wears the crown of incompetence.

by:+Neil Versel
It’s been more than 10 months since Google released an application provider interface for its Google Glass wearable device, and though Glass effectively remains in beta, healthcare apps are starting to pop up. Pristine co-founder and CEO Kyle Samani says the company is actually generating revenue from its Glass offerings.
In October, the University of California, Irvine, began piloting Pristine’s EyeSight videoconferencing app for remote consultations with anesthesiologists, as well as the CheckLists for surgeries.

Using Hashtags in Social Media Marketing
Feb,28,2014
by:+Adrienne Erin
You don’t have to like it, but hashtags are now a part of our culture. They flash onscreen with alarming regularity during our favorite shows and sporting events and they populate our feeds on just about every social media site. In case you’re somehow not familiar with them by now, hashtags are a way to tag posts in order to essentially hyperlink social media posts to search results. It’s a way for users to indicate that they’re responding, contributing to, or even creating a new conversation or trend.
