Initiate Transition Phase...

In just a few weeks (sometime in mid-may), the 10th anniversary of my starting work at good ol' Physicians' Online will come to pass. That anniversary means that I've been working on the "Medical Web" for 8 of the last 10 years on what have been, arguably, the leading websites for physicians (POL, CareInsite, WebMD Physician and now Medscape). That's a long time and an accomplishment of which I'm pretty darn proud.

After a lot of thinking in the past few months, however, I've decided that it's time for a change. There are a ton of exciting things going on (aren't we in the middle of the birth of Web 2.0?) and not all of them involve medical information and CME.

So, I'm moving on. I've got about two more weeks left here at Medscape/WebMD and then I'm off to join Cablevision as Director of their Optonline.net site. I'm very excited to be able to bring some fresh ideas to the consumer web portal space, and really believe that, as an organization, Cablevision is in a unique position to do some very cool things.

What happens here? Probably nothing too radical. I'll keep posting. Probably a bit less about the Medical Web, but I've still got opinions on that and you'll still see them here. ;-)

I'll try not to get too dewey-eyed over the next two weeks, but transitions like this tend to bring out the sentimentalist in me. I'll keep you posted .
