Fellow blogger Israel from Fat Man Unleashed had the idea to launch a new social media site, especially focused on the Health niche. Israel realised there was no health related social media site available yet, so he said to himself, why not build one myself? The result after many hours of work: HealthRanker.com.

Like most other social media sites, relevant links are gathered from all over the internet which people can vote on. To do this you can go to Health Ranker and check the current news and upcoming stories. Or, you can vote for relevant articles on a website itself when it has the digg-ish red-cross vote button. For an example of this button, check out the beginning of this article.

Because I believe Health Ranker is a great initiative that will help build a bigger and better health community, I have included HealthRanker buttons on my whole blog. Of course I asked Israel personally to create a customized red Health Ranker button for my blog design. He's been a friend... ok who am I kidding. I got extremely lucky for the button design to match my website design so nicely. It would be a crime to not include the Health Ranker buttons on my blog. They give my articles extra spice!

If you wish to participate at Health Ranker, signing up is really easy. It took me like 10 seconds. Submitting an article goes ever faster. Just like at any other social media site, you first submit a link, then provide a description and finally select a category. That's it! When you have an account, you can add me as a friend.

Untill then, I wish Israel best of luck with the new project and I hope it will become something great. The site still is in a testing fase, but things seem to be running smooth as it is.
