A Healthcare Hacker News?

I have to admit that I’m a bit of a news junky.  It’s not CNN that interests me though.  Instead, I’ve been obsessed with social news going all the way back to Slashdot.  I’ve been using Reddit since Paul Graham linked to them from his site way back when (2004?).  Now I spend almost all of my online time on Paul’s social news site: Hacker News (incidentally, that kinda where I got the name for this site).

Why bring this up?  Well, in my last post I mentioned the need for zero-friction ways to share information about the healthcare problem and potential solutions.  While I don’t think a social news site is the be-all end-all solution, I think it’s a great first step.  The only problem is that I’m not aware of any such sites. I may just have to buckle down and build one myself.  No promises though… If I do get something together, I’ll post it here first.
