- Are you Anthony Burich? Claim or remove your profile
This is an open letter to Organized Wisdom, and more specifically to Anthony Burich, @aburich and other nurses who have been "profiled" without their knowledge.
Like you, I was profiled on Organized Wisdom and my tweets being "harvested" and added to their index (most have been deleted, click on the "cache" copy). When displayed in their index, my name, my photo and drug advertising were displayed prominently. So, a few questions. 1. Did you know you were profiled on Organized Wisdom? Most nurses (and doctors) contacted do not. 2. Do you consent to your name/likeness being used to promote their site? Are you OK with them selling you as an "expert?" If so, do you have expertise in another health area besides Nursing? Sorry but till you've graduated nursing school, and worked in the field 5-10 years and specialized, no other Healthcare or Nursing Peer Review Board will consider using the term Expert. 3. Do you consent to your tweet streams, being harvested, unfiltered and added to an organization that chiefly sells drug advertising? It implies your endorsement. 4. Did you know, once submitted, your favorite sites are copied, plagiarized and their copyrights infringed upon. 5. Did you know, that as a "curator" you receive no compensation, even though Organized Wisdom makes money hand over fist from drug advertising. Can you say exploitation? ********************************************************** A discussion of the business practices we object to can be found here: OrganizedWisdom's Twitter Hashtag HONcode violations can be reported here if you feel you're being exploited: http://bit.ly/k8G096 I'll be happy to answer any questions as well.
