Remember the web 2.0 bandwagon we discussed earlier? According to a recent report released by Gartner , that same bandwagon is going to need its own jet in about four year's time. “The Emerging Enterprise Social Software Marketplace” projected that by 2011 “the social software market will grow from US$ 226 million in 2007 to more than US$ 707 million.” From blogs and wikis to social software platforms; to bookmarking, communities of practice, discussion forums, expertise location and information feeds, enterprise and Web 2.0 investments are exploding.

Who is Sick?
The genesis of the idea for Who Is Sick was actually from an acute need that our founder had when his wife started experiencing severe stomach pain while they were on vacation. With no way of knowing whether the pain was from appendicitis, food poisoning, or some other stomach illness, our vacationing couple went to the emergency room and waited for 4 hours (BTW - this was from 11pm until 3am) to be seen by a doctor...only to be told that there was a stomach flu going around and that if the pain didn't go away in 24 hours, to come back. Wow. 4 hours wait for that...in the middle of the night... (of course the doctor did check to see if it was appendicitis so they weren't all bad...). Our founder thought, "if only there were a website that had current AND local sickness information, maybe we could have avoided the long wait." Needless to say, this started the wheels spinning and a couple of months later, Who Is Sick was born.Discussing Social Media

Why Online Video Sites Are Hot Target
As the Internet snaps to life with homemade movies, TV shows, and other forms of video, companies that offer online video are seeing the value of their businesses surge.
