Physicians have as many concerns as any other business owner. They need to grow through successful networking, hospital affiliations, and recommendations.

I have been talking to several physicians in the past few days. As you know, this changing economy is starting to affect everyone, even the health care industry. For sure, some will barely feel the crisis, but an overwhelming majority is already feeling the impact of recent economic changes.

In days like these, you want to eliminate any unnecessary expenses and maximize the value of the time you are spending. You definitely can’t afford to do anything but continue to work hard to grow. This is how DrConnected.com came into the picture. With a changing economy, every cent saved is a glory. Opening your account with us is free and you not only benefit from the social network aspect of our web application, but you also expose your profile to major search engines like Google or Yahoo.

#1 Public Profile for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

We made it easy for search engines to find your profile. Every profile holder at DrConnected.com has a public profile assigned: http://www.drconnected.com/users/Name (with an underscore to separate the first name and last name.

Wondering how it looks like? You can see the profile of a valuable member: Hisham Seify MD (http://drconnected.com/users/Hisham_Seify).

Your profile will not display on major search engines overnight. It takes times. It’s constant work from our end and you can help too! If you have a website, add the link of your DrConnected profile in it (you can click on “Public Profile” on your account to get the exact link).

We worked hard to enable this option and now, when you create a free account you can benefit from it too! When you create an account with us, is queued and will be crawled by majors search engine bots once you create an account with us. So don’t wait anymore!

#2 Public Search

What would be the benefit of having a public profile if the user can’t do a search through the platform and discover more about DrConnected.com? This is why we have enabled a search option for any visitor to find your office information on our website.

Give it a try and provide us with your feedback!

More to come. Stay Tuned.

What is it?

Doctors Connected (DrConnected) is a Social Network specifically developed for Doctors, Physicians, Allied Health. Doctors can easily connect with their Colleagues nationwide at no cost!

Introduction
We officially launched the alpha version of this powerful web-application a few months ago. We would like to introduce to you some of the great features that were implemented during November.

#1 DrConnected Blog
DrConnected blog was launched around the same time we release the first alpha version of our innovative social network for doctors.

#2 Recommendation Process
Implementation of a powerful Recommendation System in the Search Engine (if variable searched aren’t found). Basically what that means is, if you do not successfully find one of your colleagues on DrConnected’s system, you can easily send an invitation by email.

#3 Forgot your Password?
We also implemented the “Forgot your password” option to enable users to retrieve a new password.

#4 Strong Security Improvement
One of our main priorities is to always optimize our code to provide you and us more security. Major Security improvement was done when we released our version 0.6.4 alpha.

#5 Intuitive User-Interface
We proudly published the new branding of DrConnected a few days ago. It took us months (to say the least) to work on the branding of DrConnected. We created and worked on different styles, colors, and typography in trying to produce to most “easy to use” social network web-application on the market. As a visual communication firm, our goal is to provide physicians, with an intuitive application.

#6 Harmonized CSS
I am sure as a web developer you were -at least once- rushed to publish an application with unharmonized CSS, because of a time constraint or some other reason. It doesn’t impact user experience on your site at all, but it’s the kind of (silly) unfinished task that stays in the back of your mind haunting you. The solution to remedy this problem is as simple as erasing duplicates in your css file. But your strong web developer’s consciousness keeps bugging you until you finally harmonize the CSS of your application. No matter how low the impact is for the end-user, it’s just feels like cleaning your office or taking care of errants. Just great

#7 Got Feedback Option
Nothing is more important to us, than the user experience of our application. This is why we added the “Got Feedback” Button that you will find on the bottom right side of your screen, when you log in to your DrConnected Account. We already received some interesting feedback, and are working on implementing some new features.

We will provide you a calendar of features sometime this week, to be implemented for December. Stay Tuned.
