Epionions.com is an online "forum"
for the consumers to express their opinions about what they had bought.
The selling point for this site is the potential customers for particular
products can obtain enough "fair and balanced" information from
other's mouths before they buy their desired products, ranging from books,
clothing, electronics to car and even bank loans. Its interface is quite
user-friendly and straight-forward. Once you get to its portal
page, all you need to do is either to type your keywords in
the field provided and choose a relative category, or directly click the
links on the top or at the left to narrow down what you want to search.
Don't miss out the ratings from other customers for particular products
and the ratings for the popular online stores, those information makes
this site famous and useful. If you are a serious shopper or you love
to shop online, this site can give you a good insight and knowledge on
both your desired stuff and the shops you gonna pay. Epinions.com
considerately categorizes the items in terms of price, product functions
and brands that makes the searching much more easier. If you do not trust
the online stores out there or you have a very tight budget for what you
intend to buy, go there and read some "constructive" opinions
from "victims" which can greatly reduce your chance of buying
the wrong things or being hoaxed by the unscrupulous online stores. Last
but not least, its "compare" function is also very nice to compare
two or more items you are interested in. The Epinions.com
uses ASPs to access its back-end database.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI),
established in 1937, is the Federal government's principal agency for
cancer research and one of eight agencies that compose the Public Health
Service (PHS) in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The
institute mainly coordinates the National Cancer Program which
conducts and supports cancer research, training, cancer information such
as the cause, diagnosis, prevention, rehabilitation and treatment of different
kinds of cancer. To those unfortunate patients suffered with
cancer, this web site is a vital, credible information center for them
and their families to know more about their enemy, cancer. Since most
of the medical terms are nothing but a foreign language to most of the
people, this site is kindly enough to set up a dictionary
page for those who need to know them. It is just one of the
evidence that they are there for help! One of the database this site has
offered is called "clinical
trails", in which cancer patients can gather the life-saving
information from cancer treatment, genetics, diagnosis, supportive care,
screening, and prevention from its world's most comprehensive cancer
clinical trials database as it claimed. On its clinical
trails searching page, the patient can choose the cancer type,
trail type and trail location to search for the "clinical facts"
about that disease and even the contacts of the medical personnels who
are specialized in that field.
