The return of Adam Bosworth
The former head of Google’s health initiative, who resigned abruptly while on vacation last month, has finally resurfaced, according to his blog. It’s not exactly the first sighting of Bosworth since his departure from Google — I was told he turned up briefly at the Health 2.0 conference last month, although he apparently wasn’t saying much about what had happened — but it’s the most detailed update most of us have seen since he vanished.
Which is not to say that Bosworth is terribly forthcoming about his current plans. He’s starting a new company and writing prototype code of some sort, but doesn’t spill many details. If your idea of a newsworthy tidbit is the fact that he’s thinking of moving his blog to Wordpress, then this post might satisfy your news-junkie cravings. For the rest of us, not so much. Still, it’s clearly worth keeping an eye on Bosworth, whether or not his next venture has anything to do with online health.
