Real Estate Cybertips: August 2002
TRICK#1: FAX YOUR DOCTOR FROM THE WEB! CYBER MAGIC TRICKS
TRICK#1: FAX YOUR DOCTOR FROM THE WEB! Ever had a tough time getting through to your Doctor for some routine information? Ever wish that your Doctor had a web site but found none? Well, thanks to these clever folks, this unique site will put your message right into your choice of over 370,000 Doctors office fax machines! This is yet another example of a time saving niche site that can be used for non-urgent communications including prescription renewals, making or canceling appointments, referral requests, X-ray or lab test results, and billing inquiries. No more busy signals, music on hold, telephone tag, or having your personal health related calls overheard by your office mates. And it's free!
TRICK#2: VISIT THE PATIENT FROM HOME! While we're on a health kick how about this unique solution to a dilemma faced by anyone with a sick or hospitalized family member -- how to check on the patient's condition and progress with ease, efficiency, and care? This place does the trick! When a patient is scheduled for hospitalization a family member or friend (they call this quarterback the "Guardian Angel") sets up a secure personal patient page where they post information and updates about the patient. If you opt for e-mail updates, these go out to you any time a change in condition is posted. A patient can be "visited" from anywhere in the world. In addition to viewing the information posted, the visitor can leave a confidential message for the patient. This great place allows people to feel connected and to remain informed at anytime in effect to fuel the recovery process from anywhere! Great use of the Web and free!

GREAT PLACE #1: PINPOINT 25 MILLION BUSINESSES!http://www.lasoo.com/ Here's a great place where you can find a local butcher, baker or candlestick maker or scout the competition instantly! These folks have assembled a database of over 25 Million businesses and mapped them so you can define your search from the biggest city to the smallest town -- around the corner or around the world! Each search produces a maneuverable map displaying the search results in a relational format. This interesting site found us 8 "barbers" in our zip code, 38,379 in the US and 181,641 in North America. Similarly we found 4 "beauty salons" in the zip area, 20,445 in the US and 91,452 in North America. Imagine what you'd find doing a geo-search for pizza!
