John, thanks for the coverage and kind words. Looking forward to sharing more with you and Searchblog's readers as we continue to evolve our offering. (Side note: Had a blast at Web 2.0!)

Hi John,
You posted about HealthLine, but failed to mention the Kosmix Vertical Health Search Engine which launched (alpha) the same week, last week! Kosmix has much better coverage than HealthLine (try some rarer query terms).
