- Open Like Google?
-
Please clarify how Google is and example of 'open' ???
Google does publish some of its API, but it is a generally secretive company and reverse engineering its algorithms are the subject of a minor industry for Search Engine Optimization. And BTW- the Google API changes much more often than the Microsoft or Apple APIs.
Google is also not free as beer, by a long shot. It makes money by selling advertising. Do you think this is proper content for communications between patient and Doctor?
Finally, if you believe Google is free as speech, please consult the Chrome EULA.
This 'open' thing is getting to be just a synonym for 'not Microsoft' - a company that provides early access to the community including all its competitors.
Google's kind of "open" is the last thing I want between me and my health records.
