My Response to the blog "Three Approaches to mHealth"

The blog titled "Three Approaches to mHealth" can be found at:                                      http://www.hhs.gov/open/discussion/blog.html 

Its specific purpose is: is to make the public aware of the three options available for mHealth programs using mobile phones and texting. It provides examples of each kind of program they are thinking of using or trying to start-up.

The audience of this blog is intended to be the general public and human service workers.

My critique of this bog is: The content is very professional and useful information, it is very well thought up and good be very helpful if ever put into action. I think that the author and the person creating the prototype are onto something with these ideas but it needs a little more planning. The quality of the layout is a little bland, but it has to be on a government forum, right?

A comparison of this blog and last weeks blog: this one is based more on my employment, but last weeks was more interesting to read, just because of the layout of the page. The layout of this page gave me a headache to look at, but they do have some good ideas on this page too.

My response to this blog is: I think that they have some good ideas, but need to keep working on the formula a little bit, because like the writer says it doesn't fit every one or every phone. For it to work the way they want it to it has to be a one size fits all kind of thing like a text message, but everyone has to want to use it, well at least the mass majority has to want to use it, because after all there still are those people that still do not text or use computers. So there still may be people who won't be up to speed on that trend either, but it could be a good thing if they can get it off the ground and running, like they did the text messages or facebook or twitter.

Ideas for blogging in my future career: I still am not convinced that blogging is the thing for me, not too may people read them more people read tweets. Besides that I still do not see how you can keep things confidential and blog or tweet, so I still am on the fence with blogging.
