We will now occassionally prepare and post an original video list for healthsprocket, typically using an animated format. Our first foray into providing such content is a "Ranking of Typical Components of Health Care Consumerism" which is available via healthsprocket at http://healthsprocket.com/hs/node/601

We have added a new type of lists that can be posted: Video and Audio Lists. This involves posting a link to a YouTube or other video, or a podcast audio, etc. that involves discussion of a health care list of any type. You simply provide the title of the list, a brief description, the link, and then as with all lists, indicate what categories apply to the list.

Comments can be made or viewed at the bottom of any list. But now, if you're searching for comments to view, we've made the task easier by adding links to "Recent Comments" and "Most Commented Lists" to the left menu in healthsprocket, shortly below the search box.
 
We encourage you to check out comments that have been made to healthsprocket lists, and to add your own comments to any list as well!
