Selling the idea of Medical Information on USB drives during the age of the internet is like selling paper editions of Encyclopedia Britannica during the age of Wikipedia. Dr. J. Murdoch, MD, 2008

Do you *REALLY* want to be a Encyclopedia Britannica salesman ?

No you dont.

Medical Information on USB drives will never ever ever work. Full Stop. End of Story.

We've discussed this crazy silly notion before.

While on the topic USB drives suck as well.

First of all, the $100 million is going to charities. CBS is initially donating some of the $20 cards thumb drives, but soon thereafter they'll cost the consumer, when a 4GB eBay thumb drive now costs less than $8.

How is that better than PHR initiatives like Google's which is completely FREE and available on the 'net? You don't have to carry a web PHR. You can better password protect a webpage than a dongle that can be lost, stolen, or misused.

My crystal ball says that this MedeFile idea is not going anywhere anytime soon. Interestingly, CNET mentions both on the same news blog site here.
