**WARNING - GEEKY MOMENT**

I am somewhat of a google super user, and have lots and lots of google new alert, blog search and old usenet searches posted to me via RSS daily.

The majority of the search terms used to be work related (Oil & Gas) but since Mel was diagnosed I've had a lot of MS related searches too.

It's actually quite a trip down memory lane looking at the terms I entered in August 07, Rebif, Chemo, Stem Cell, Radiation, HiCy etc etc.

Back in May I added:

(Vascular OR Venous) AND Multiple AND Sclerosis.

It was one of my slowest feeds. I'd had 6 new search results, 3 of which were garbage and 3 which were useful.

That was up until September 6th.

From September 7th the feed has rocketed, I've had 200 search results and RSS links since Monday.

A LOT of well respected medical blogs, papers, and general sites are now linking and discussing.

It just needs AP or Reuters to pick it up which will happen at some point.

Keep up the work guys!!
