The activity and the impact were also documented through metrics, hit counters, shared documents and followers of the different tools.

    Results: The development, implementation and evaluation of virtual Drug In- formation was performed during four years. Seven 2.0 tools were selected and implemented over time, to store, communicate, receive and classify information: Netvibes, Slideshare, Twitter, WordPress blog, Flickr, Zotero and a Google Site were implemented. Twitter and WordPress Blog were accredited by the Catalan Institute of Health. We proposed a map of specific activities in the drug information area and Web 2.0 services available.
