At the end of the year a lot of lists are made. In the Netherlands we have for instance the Top 2000 about music. Acumeme, Canada’s E-health | EHR blog comes up with a top 50 of Health 2.0 blogs. This list also contains one dutch blog.
43. Laika’s MedLibLog. Another blog heavy on the medical library end of health 2.0 and written by a Dutch medical information specialist, this blog offers topics such as WikiMindMap, Dutch medical blogs, and more.
In my honest opinion Dr Shock should have been included in the list as well, but Acumeme did not include a specific category for blogging physicians. People who would like to take a look at an extensive list of medical blogs can take a look at the list I created. It has not been updated (August 2008) in a while, but it still gives a nice overview.

Hi Jan,
The top 50 Acumeme already dates from September and was compiled by RNCentral.com, not acumeme. (http://www.rncentral.com/nursing-library/careplans/top_50_health_2.0_blogs). Indeed it is a subjective list and is centered on health 2.0, thus more on web 2.0 tools not on medical blogs per se. Each list has his own advantages and disadvantages and his own emphasis. The disadvantage of many ‘objective’ lists like the one you developed is that they are automatically made on basis of an algorithm, mostly dependent on number of links of any kind. (Not all these scores are valuable, though: Technorati ranking has lost its trustworthiness for instance). The disadvantage of subjective lists is well… that they are subjective.
I surely agree with you that Dr. Shock has an excellent blog. In fact it is one of my favorite blogs as well, and I have nominated it for best Literary Medical Weblog at The 2008 Medical Weblog Awards contest. Dr. Shocks is also a nominee for two other categories. There is a good chance he will make it as one of the best bloggers in one or more categories of these prestigious contests. Fingers crossed. He deserves it!

You’re right. I did not read the end of the article well enough.
Let’s all vote for Dr. Shock on The 2008 Medical Weblog Awards.
