Dietitians Online Blog: Sixty-two Dietitians from Around the World Dietitians-Online Celebrates its First Anniversary on the Internet

On November 7, 2010 Dietitians-Online celebrates its first anniversary on the Internet.

As a Registered Dietitian, Educator and Journalist creating lists of reliable resources is essential and a habit. In 1995 I started to write down the dietitians and health related places on the Internet. The list had less than 5 websites when I started. By 2005, I had found an additional 50 resources. Each year I would add more and more dietitians and resources. Then between 2007 and 2009, dietitians from all over the world started to appear on the Internet. They came from diverse backgrounds and unique experiences. This was the beginning of the "Social Media Dietitian".

Dietitians-Online was created to acknowledge the contributions of the dietitian on the Internet. To distinguish the dietitian as the nutrition expert and a valuable resource for the consumer, educator, media and health professional.

Between November 2009 and October 2010, Dietitians-Online visited over 700 websites, blogs and social media pages created by dietitians. Currently there are over 500 dietitians' pages waiting to be reviewed.

“Quotes by Dietitians” is an ongoing project, usually up-dated a few times per month. The dietitians are individuals who have a place on the Internet where they educate, write and/or provide services. Each person is a Registered Dietitian (RD) or an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD, Australia).

The experience in working with Dietitians-Online has been an amazing journey. I’ve met and discovered dietitians who demonstrate commitment, dedication, creativity, knowledge and excellence in the dietetic and nutrition profession. As I review and learn from the work of my colleagues and observe a new generation of dietitians, I am excited about the future of our profession.

I look forward to meeting you and visiting your place on the Internet.
Thank you for your support.
