This looks interesting; but it seems risky for the company. Well, considering the number of Bloggers, this means, it’s a good market for insurance companies. I am just wondering if they will patronize this.

One of my friends ordered a product from HealthMegaMall.com. I decided to take a look and found over 100,000 products to choose from!

Just putting my two cents in, Larry is a good guy and doesn’t do things half way. The partnership with USA today alone brings bloggers exposure to millions of readers. He has several vertical publications involved in the B&P guide as well that should be very beneficial to bloggers in those markets.

You can be sure that many more vertical print publications will be coming on-line.

Universal health care is not the answer!

TechChrunch does a good job dropping in an unabashed pitch for universal health care here, as in, “even if it’s a basic healthcare package it’s a whole lot better than having no healthcare coverage in country that (unlike most of the rest of the western world) does not provide universal healthcare”. Wake up! Healthcare in the so-called “rest of the western world” stinks. Any Canadian who can comes to the US for healthcare, and in the UK, anyone with cash uses a private system outside the government system. With universal health care the only losers will be the less fortunate. For a good discussion of why the health care system is so broken and what to do about it, go to the below link.

Alex, we’ve built our own ad serving technology called AdScape that will allow us to target ads based on a great variety of criteria, including geography.

Are they going to run adify or actually use another ad serving technology?

Interesting thought – personally I’d rather set aside some of my income and invest specifically in health insurance / private medical insurance etc etc, rather than have it tied in with a blog network/organisation, but that’s just me. Sure it would work for some.

To clarify, all bloggers and podcasters will be eligible, regardless of audience size. Our objective is twofold: 1) To bring blogging and podcasting beyond the early adopters to the much larger group of mainstream consumers; 2) help all bloggers and podcasters to increase their ability to earn a significant income from their efforts by allowing them to expand their audience through promotion in USA TODAY and our rapidly expanding network of media partners (rolling out in the next couple weeks) that already includes 15 additional publications. To see all of the sites in our network and to be included all you need to do is go to http://www.blog...er.com/register when the page is up later today.

a blogger magazine is going to provide medical care type insurance? i guess they are going to use big companies, because for a small company its really a risky business to enter.

How big does a blog have to be in order to qualify, subscriber count, unique visitors???

haha. Nothing says third-world like a country that can’t provide healthcare for 20% of its population!

How are they different from FM network, except for targeting mid-sized and small blogs? and this pay, will small bloggers pay to be listed if they don’t really earn real money now?

Where can you get a listing for $5? The cheapest I can see on the site is the “previous” price of $49.95 per month.

The problem with offering health insurance on a nation-wide basis (much less an international basis) is that each state regulates the insurance offerings in that state. So what is acceptable in one state may be disallowed in another. Similar plans would certainly be available, but there are no plans that are exactly the same in every state with the exact same premiums. Residents of some states get more for their money than residents of other states.

But, if contributions to a medical savings plan were the “access to healthcare” being offered, it would be another story. Not as interesting to most, but still one worth listening to.

“the B,C,D & E listers who have smaller and often more niche audiences.”

Who exactly are they talking about? How big does a blog have to be in order to qualify, subscriber count, unique visitors…do they matter? What does 60 dollars a year really buy a blogger?
