Practicing Patients - By THOMAS GOETZ
PatientsLikeMe, an Internet start-up, creates information-rich communities for the chronically ill. Is it the next step forward in medical science — or just a MySpace for the afflicted?

I love the tagline- together we can make sure this is the next step forward in medicine.

First I want to thank you and make sure you know that we belive this is a shared honor. This is about all of us together but most of all you who are making this experiment possible.

I also have a favor to ask. The New York Times tracks what stories are most emailed. If you can please use their system to forward the email to one or two people. If we do this together I think we can make this a top story in their system.

Thank you all again,

-jamie
