For example, we teach a therapy called chelation, so we have a Scoop.it describing what that therapy is, and we can update it regularly.

For important topics, one facebook post or one article illustration just isn't enough. Scoop.it allows us to cluster information that is obviously tied together but gives a variety of perspectives on a topic.,We wish we could have control over the font
