TOPIC: yourversion
TOPIC SITE: http://www.yourversion.com/
Review of Tool/Site:
After glancing through multiple discovery engines, yourversion lured me in with the promise of discovering content relevant to my preferences. Sign up is free. One can link up via a Facebook or Twitter account. The site also has free apps for Ipad, Iphone, and Android increasing the accessibility of content. Youversion offers an easier way to locate and find information on the internet. Through topic interests the web is searched and content is located and put in one place. Content is found through multiple sources such as blogs, webpages, videos, or products. The user can also specify where yourversion should look. A user can share information gained, bookmark pages, or simply continue to look up more information.
As good as all of the above sounded. Signing up with Twitter was difficulty and did not work for me. Also the topics were pretty broad and felt that I needed to be extremely specific when looking for information.
Recommended use for public health messaging:
Although the topics found/located sometimes were not specifically what was wanted, Public health officials can utilize this tool to search in one location without having to go out and search all different sites. This can help to make research projects or health messaging research faster and more efficient. Additionally, the share button can then be used to quickly share information with others via social media.
