ushin

welcome to a free, unique way to upload and find information, independent of the commercial web.

people - you- will build ushin by sending questions, in ushin forms, to sources of information you trust. the forms tell your chosen sources where and how you want to find your answers. unlike any single website or linked network now online, ushin will allow universal cross-referencing to improve how everyone will share, find and choose health resources. ushin tools will help you to save, send and organize information you find in ushin format.

choice: you will search according to your own priorities, and get the details you want to know. you choose where you get your information and see what other options and opinions relate to your search, and can choose these, and adapt them to meet your own terms. ushin offers no ranking, bias, editing or censorship.

validity: you will see who has uploaded all pieces of information and ratings by others. you will see endorsements and scientific conclusions explained by your chosen organizations who are themselves rated - by your choice of experts.

privacy: ushin is just a directory of links to information that lets users send only your question, stripped of anything connecting you to that question. ushin information sources upload the answer publicly for everyone - your privacy is ensured through anonymity. after the universal shared information network is fully implemented there will be further privacy measures, to manage ISP and browser issues.

access: free of charge and registration, the longterm ushin vision considers a citizen-owned ISP (internet service provider) and browser as well as the collaboratively developed ushin directory/website which houses the ushin links, tags, stamps and flags. ushin will collaborate with (LINCs) local information network centers to help people in the community find information and resources whether or not they use the online system directly.

ushin is not yet a fully functional system,
