Comments on: Keas.com - another bad domain name http://www.johnon.com/706/google-microsoft-health-keas.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

I know my doctor owns my life. it really is that simple. I chose my doctor, the secret-keeper of all my medical history, based on how I thought he would do ruling my world. Your negative input will just hurt people, there is a future in medicine that involves the internet and results in lives being saved, and your focus on the name, which might not be the most brilliant choice, but which is certainly not bad, results in the generation of needless anxiety and sets back human progress. Thanks. you know, I see your point, fearmongeringyou-know-what, because domain names always are judged by their relevance to their product and professional sound, like apple, pandora, and google. also, the internet? scarrrrry. keas is probably trying to steal all your health information so that they can own your life.

The domain name consultant never left the building. Domain names are extremely valuable to companies that understand how to brand and market their domain names. Yes!

Obviously not on the agenda either (although they do have a "links" page :)). Not sure where the various venture capitalists backing this heads were at...and forgetting the SEO/SEM aspects, how about the user engagement..."Get started today" send you straight to a new account screen...weeeell, call me crazy but, after all the ruckus surrounding the privacy and security about this type of data, I think I'd like a bit more comfort about what I am signing up for before I start adding my cholestrol levels...I remain ever hopeful that the "build it and they will come" method of business planning will fade away...but, it looks like it is making a come back with Keas.

Am I on the right track here? I totally agree about the domain name as well, it shouldn't be so odd and sterile (hang on, maybe odd and sterile is actually quite appropriate!) this is all such a strange concept to me, i can’t seem to quite get my head around it all. so if we chose to, google will store all our medical info, and then have the rights to them forever (a bit like the issue with facebook, if we leave it facebook has the rights to all our persoanl info, and our photos)?
