Here’s an interesting homegrown site embracing the collaborative web2.0 approach - The Health Connection www.healthconnection.co.nz is a niche directory aimed at the health sector and at first glance it’s just another directory but if you look closer there are some neat features.
It’s hard to define just what web2.0 actually is but I think it’s about open collaboration.
The Health Connection It’s a directory of health organisations and their key decision makers. So you can find a health care provider but you can also see which people are the key decision makers within. But the clever bit is that anyone can edit pretty much anythinig on the site.
Not only can you submit an organisation if it is missing, and submit key decision makers to it or indeed existing organisations, but you can also edit the details of any organisation or person in the directory.
The changes don’t go live immediately but that’s understandable.
