SOUND OFF AND MAKE A FEW $$$$

I came across a site called "MyLot", which is basically a discussion forum which has recently exploded with members; currently there are over 50,ooo worldwide. MyLot earns money from third-party advertising that is displayed on the site, directed towards target audiences. The ads are displayed based on the particular discussion that is going on. For example, if you are initiating or responding to a discussion using the keywords "aids" or "HIV", the ads that are displayed are those that would likely be of interest to you, such as ads for HIV medications, medical information, websites centered around HIV disease, and health insurance. A very small portion of the revenue generated from these ads is payed to the members, based on the number of responses and the quality and depth of the discussion. Just about anything is discussed: health issues, religion, current events, sexuality, politics, foreign relations... it's pretty much endless. This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme; in fact, the money that you make will be only "pocket change". I was thinking that it would be great to have more people there who would get involved with some discussions to educate people worldwide about HIV/AIDS, sexuality issues, discrimination associated with HIV, and perhaps most importantly about HIV prevention. There are a lot of users from developing nations who have only a very basic knowledge of HIV; it's pretty pathetic. If this is something that appeals to you, check it out through this link.

Just found your blog. I always try to find new nurse practitioner blogs. I applaud your work with patients with HIV.
