Six years ago, Dr. Joseph Dello Russo founded online Las 5a8 ik FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) web site in order to provide answers to the most common questions that trouble Lasik patients and surgery candidates. It has since become one of the most popular Lasik information websites, currently serving 50,000 visitors each month -- traffic has tripled since January 2007.

Dr. Dello Russo is one of the nation's most well-known Lasik surgeons, one of the few who worked with FDA to approve the first Excimer Lasik technology. Following the Lasik approval in 1998, he noticed people's confusion and received many phone calls and emails with questions from the public who was becoming aware of Lasik but knew little about the new surgery. "Patients complained that they could not find any reliable source online which can provide them with relevant, fresh information on Lasik-related issues," he explains the reason he opened www.LasikFAQ.com in 2001. "I went online and found that there were no significant laser vision correction Q&A websites. Most Lasik message boards or chats were not managed by eye doctors. Someone had to take the initiative to educate the public."

Dello Russo sought to provide a totally objective informational Lasik site, the content of which would reflect what questions were on the minds of the public who were considering Lasik: "I decided to choose a question and answer format, so people can browse through past questions and find information quickly." The website is ad-free, hosted by Dello Russo Laser Vision centers. Dr. Dello Russo answers most of the questions himself: "sometimes it resembles a chat room when I have enough free time for act with questioners. I focus on a common problems and new developments". On LasikFAQ.com, Dr. Dello Russo writes as an educated but independent advisor who answers questions from around the world. He normally avoids mentioning brand name products, if possible.

For IT solution providers, location is no longer and issue. Now IT Solution Providers can give and get business from across the globe through a new free referral service for technology providers called the Advanced Service Network (ASN).

A benefit of ASN is the rule limiting the number of solution providers in a given geographical territory. Qualified members who join ASN early will be locking out excessive competition. ASN assigns a "saturation point" for each geographical area, and restricts the number of members in order to minimize competition for referrals.
