I looked at Medstory - it's good to find a new "version" of a search engine for medicine/health - in Beta mode, patent pending.
I tried this for searching nursing topics, and quite like the neat subject approach provided - it is easily recognisable for anyone with a medical/health background. Since it is non-Australian in construction, you need to keep this in mind when saving sites for Australia (scope of nursing is an important issue). I like the del-icio-us and RSS possibilities provided, and the capabilities for selecting audio/video, Research, etc.
All sites I chose for saving were easy to save into my accounts. There are of course, some blind/out-of-date links. I do think design and access and content are inextricably linked on the Web - the only small criticism I have is the front page! Although clean, and devoid of lots of content (which is good), I needed to scroll down to see the rest of the page. It's an understatement of the wonderful sites lurking within. It's a great dotcom site of use especially to library and other professionals. Thank you Web2 technology for letting me find yet another little something of practical benefit.
