davidrothman.net in the “Healthcare 100″ (and a reader poll)
Well, this can’t be right.
According to eDrugSearch.com’s algorithm, this blog isn’t just in the Top 100 Healthcare Blogs, it is in the Top 10.
Some of my favorites are also in the top 100:
Medgadget.com – #1
Kevin MD – #2
Over my med body! – #10
Polite Dissent – #12
Science Roll – #37
Women’s Health News – #97 (Hurray for MedLib Blogs!)
Funny, I never set out to write a “healthcare blog.” Go figure. I sometimes wonder how the approximately 900 subscribers to this blog’s feed break out by profession. I’m curious what portion work in medical libraries, what portion work in libraries of other sorts or are library students, and what portion are clinical professionals/students of one sort or another. I strongly suspect that more subscribers are libraryfolk than medicalfolk.
In an attempt to find out, I’ve created the quick poll below. If you have 20 seconds to spare, I’d be grateful if you were to select the radio button next to the option that best describes you and click “Submit Vote.”
Thanks! I’ll leave the poll up for about a week and let you know what I learned from it.
(If you think none of these options properly describes your profession, let me know and I’ll add a new radio button.)

I’m none of the above — I’m a health editor! Keep up the good work — I’m learning a lot from you.

Thanks, Pat! I have added a radio button for “Journalist/Reporter/Editor.”

Way to go, David! You’re doing good work here. Also, I had no idea Women’s Health News had made it into the list, so thanks for pointing me to it!

I read you because you rock. And because you know what you are talking about. Keep up the good work. What you are doing is important.

[...] Of course, I can’t forget David Rothman’s blog, as he pointed me to the ranking in the first place, blogs intelligently and prolifically about healthcare tech-based resources, and is the only other medical librarian blogger on the list. [...]

You’re great, that’s why you’re on the top of the list. And your number of feedreaders is just awesome!
It seems that I’m the only medical student here regarding the survey so far. It’s weird…

Wow! Congratulations! It’s nice to see that others think as much of you as I do.

[...] Last week I asked that readers take a minute to anonymously answer a single survey question because I was curious about the makeup of this blog’s readership. The survey has been up since 6/15/07 and has perhaps received votes from enough participants (154) to indicate some general trends about the readership of this blog. Here’s the breakdown of how readers who participated describe their professions: [...]
