Early invitation to Volunteer Editors and members for A Biofeedgback media/ Blog COmmunity

I am looking for

-a handful of people who will be volunteer editors with the soon to go live Futurehealth blog community and media site.

-an unlimited number of writers and bloggers on biofeedback, neurofeedback and related mind body and alternative health approaches.


For about six months, I've been telling a number of people that I am building a community blog site for biofeedback and related areas of interest. The interest has been fantastic both from practitioners and vendors.

The project is moving along nicely.

Basically, we are starting with my www.OpEdNEws.com website and customizing it to meet the needs of the new biofeedback community being built.

The goal is to create a site where a conversation can be started where people can post articles, blogs and discussions that have threaded commenting enabled. That will make it so much easier to follow discussions.

The site will also, soon after its' going live, also offer events and calendars.

Every user will have his or her own member page.

Vendors will be able to either post products for futurehealth to sell or will be able to advertise on the site.

My hope is that members will post articles on biofeedback and related areas. With OpEdNews, I was very successful at getting the site accredited by google news, so just about all articles are spidered by google news. I will work to get futurehealth authorized as a credentialed google news site. Until then, we hope to set up futurehealth so all articles are simultaneously reprinted to OpEdNEws, so they will be spidered through OpEdNEws.


The benefits of using the site include:

-participation in a lively online community of fellow colleagues
-your own member page, with links to your home site for your practice.
-access to some amazing web 2.0 technology, including easy embedding of youtube, audio, images and more into articles and blogs.
-easy to use software for blogging and publishing articles.
-participation in a new concept in the field of biofeedback
-expanded visibility for yourself as an expert
-access to the latest news and developments in the field.
-support for different groups within the field-- public or private
-sharing in the creation of a site that has the potential to dramatically increase the public awareness of the fields of biofeedback and neurofeedback.
-articles, conversations and blogs that are archived by date, subject, location and group, so they are easy to find.
-member archives listing all aritlces, blogs, comments, polls, events for each member. (polls and events will be coming soon)
-participation in content, some of which will be included in a newsletter sent to subscribers. (already, there are over 3000 subscribers on the list)

The site is in beta test mode now and is not yet accessible to the public. I'll announce the go-live when it happens, hopefully between the end of March and mid April.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. Please email me through the listserver and offline at rob@....

Please feel free to forward this message to any listserve groups or lists you choose.
