Is anybody seeing an upswing in their respective niches? Health reform seems like a mess.

Wish more people would read this. Just saw a great post: "If employees do not get their job done because they are on Facebook, it is no different from poor performance for other reasons." I love the availability for patients with similar diseases/diagnoses/in the same situation to be able to talk to each other. I'm sure that it is therapeutic to talk with others who are in your shoes.

]]> Comment on Marketing Home Care: Have You Ever Thought About a Niche in Internet Communications? Or…. by Mary http://eldercaremarket.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/marketing-home-care-have-you-ever-thought-about-a-niche-in-internet-communications-or/#comment-192 Mary Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:04:30 +0000 http://eldercaremarket.wordpress.com/?p=538#comment-192 I think this is such a great article. My parents lived in FL and one Christmas we gave Mom and computer. She was a secretary and used a typewriter like no one else. Boy could she type. So we thought she would love a pc and e-mail. Her exact words when she opened the package was "What am I going to do with that?" In a few weeks she was e-mailing all of us and wondering why she didn't have an inbox full of mail. It was a great thing for her!! It kept her in touch with us kids on more frequent basis. I think this is such a great article. My parents lived in FL and one Christmas we gave Mom and computer.
