Doctors Need a Webspace to Call Home

May 6, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

For years I have argued that doctors need webspace to park their ideas. A place that is relatively permanent. A place with an address where ideas can live and people can go. A place to call your own. This should be the home base of your digital map. But in 2020 few doctors maintain sites that are their own. Ideas have taken the shape of Twitter threads — long ...

Should You Date Blog Posts?

November 15, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Should you date blog posts? It’s a question as old as the Internet. Those who don’t date like to see their writing as evergreen. Without a date, you'll hear, a post is as new as the day it was written. When someone stumbles on it they have no idea it was penned 4 years ago. I date my blog posts. In the most traditional way of seeing a blog, my dated entries mark my ... Continue Reading about Should You Date Blog Posts?

Medium as Digital Sharecropping

March 27, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

The networked age has spawned a number of free publishing platforms. First there was Blogger. Then Tumblr and Medium. All offer your ideas an easy on-ramp to the Internet. All represent a form of digital sharecropping. So when the investors decide that it’s time to bring Medium to slaughter, you will be left holding the bag. It’s the Silicon Valley sequence: Win ...

Since I Stopped Letting You Comment

August 8, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I shut comments off here a couple of years ago. Let's explore this... Why did you decide to eliminate comments on 33 charts? I felt that they didn't add much to what I was writing. There were alot of cheerleaders and almost as many trolls. I didn't need either. Do you comment on other blogs? If I'm inspired by something I write a post here. That way the blogger ...

Public or Perish | Should Doctors Blog for Credit?

July 8, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

A recent study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that the the majority of academic chairs did not believe that blogging enhanced favorability for promotion. If I were handed the survey I would have said, show me the bloggers body of work and I’ll tell you if it enhances favorability of promotion. To think of any form of media or platform of ...

What Doctors Sell Online

February 10, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Not long ago I connected a marketing acquaintance at a national meeting.  He offered to look at my blog and give me some tips.  We sat over coffee and he took me to task for my shortcomings. Where’s your pop up email registration? And what does 33 charts mean? I don’t know what that means.  Are you tryin’ to be cute?  Where’s your call to action?  Where are your ...
