Vote Vote Vote!

Hello, well we are in the process of inviting everybody to check out OE labs now and we are getting an amazing response. So thank you to everyone that has replied to my emails or comments on their blog pages.

One thing we have noticed so far is the lack of people actually voting on the news they are reading (and liking). So we were wondering, do you guys know what the vote system is all about? Why would you use it?

The voting system is there for you to influence which articles get pushed to the top of the popular news page. The more votes an article has, the higher up the list it goes. This helps other users see what the community has been reading and will perhaps influence what they spend their time looking at. If fellow medical professionals think it's good then perhaps you will too. Our news harvester is here to help you get up to speed with current medical affairs quickly, as is the voting system.

It works by clicking the 'vote' button which sits on the left hand side of the news link. Once you have clicked it, it turns a lovely yellow colour and your vote is logged. You can only vote once, but every vote counts! So please have a go!

Hello

Welcome to onexamination.com's blog page! Times are a changing at onexamination.com and we wanted to let everyone know what's going on. We are introducing a technological playground at the moment called OE labs. You can find it here: labs.onexamination.com

Basically we are coming up with new ideas to help make your medical professional life easier. We already provide online learning for you - if there are exams you need to prepare for we offer a variety of revision courses to help you pass - you can see them here www.onexamination.com. Now we are implementing some new lifestyle features to improve you everyday medical life.

Our first project is our 'med news review' feature. The IT guys at OE have come up with a way of collecting all the relevant and interesting medical news from across the web and centralised it in one place for you to keep up to date. You can then vote on which news stories you found useful and influence what becomes the top stories. Comments can also be made, so everyone in the community can see what you think.

We are trying to cater for our customers and make your lives easier. If there is a feature that you feel would be useful, send us a message and let us know! You can either do that on the labs.onexamination.com website or you can email at either oelabs@gmail.com or me personally at ben.fawkes@onexamination.com.

So feel free to go have a play at the labs site and let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you.
