Can you shop by a condition?

You have a particular physical condition that prevents you from being normal. Let us assume that you want to find the latest remedies for constipation. You might have already tried out several medicines but over a period of time, your body has turned immune to all of them. So, you want to find out if there is anything new in the market. How do you search for it?

Just go to AllegroMedical.com and key in ‘constipation’ in the search box and you get what you want. Isn’t this facility to search and shop by a condition of your body, fantastic?

This useful website Allegromediacl.com was founded in 1996 and is now being used by more than a million customers. It is the first eCommerce website in the medical equipment field and now stocks about 55,000 products that are conveniently cataloged under 50 categories and hundreds of subcategories.

This is the first website I have come across where I can shop by condition, shop by brand and shop by category.

Can you search with a picture?

Let us say that you have a picture of a rare bird. Thats all you have. You don't know its name. You don't know where can it be found. But you want to know the answers to all these questions.
Where can you ind the answers?

It is only at Yahoo answers can you find. It is more than an encyclopedia because you get a personal answer.

Here is an example:
Question: How do I search about a flower using it's picture?
Answer: Go to landscape solutions.

Obviously, there is more to than just 'Go to'. It is answered by a person named Kimberly C.

Do you know that Yahoo answers has more than 150 million answers? But are we using Yahoo answers at all?

The hanging monastry.


Well, it looks like the monastery is just hanging on to the rocks at the edge of a cliff.

This monastery is in Bhutan, a neighbor of India. This monastery is called 'Tiger's Nest Monastery'
due to a legendary belief that the Guru Rinpoche flew there on the back of a tiger.

The monastery is said to house seven temples in it. It can be accessed only by foot or on a mule. But will the mule climb the 10,200 feet?

This Taktshang monastery is the most sacred for Buddhists all over the world. I am scared certainly to look at its location. May be that is why it is not for ordinary people like me and only for Buddhist monks.

I had an encounter with three Buddhist monks several years ago. But I don't remember anything out of it.
