I set up a Rollyo account (love the graphic on this home page!) and customized a search engine for Health/Women's Health/Exercises for Women Over 50/Walking/Diet/Weight Training.
I specified iVillage.com and more.com as my sources for information.
I am trying to get used to searching by computer for information on health. My first response to information gathering has been to find books and then read the sections that interest me. I see that using search engines, especially customized search engines, is much more efficient and a better use of my time. But I can't be lured off task by all the other bells and whistles that accompany the information. The computer can be much more distracting than opening a book. I guess everything has a downside.
