This is a valid point. I think a couple of things will help resolve this: 1.) time on market, and 2.) letting the public know our credentials. I can assure you the backers of this project are qualified, but we're currently getting some legal issues squared away before we expose who we are. Also, when ads, or overt profiteering, is involved, this can cause issues with credibility as well. We're trying very hard to project ourselves as completely unbiased.
But I think with any project, especially one as sensitive as patient drug safety, time on market and the credibility of the individuals involved is key. We do have a medical doctor with FDA experience who advises DrugCite and has played a key role in the development phase. Honestly I know quite a bit about the other companies in this space, and we're really the only one where all of the players have worked in the medical informatics field for more than a decade each, and has an ex-FDA medical doctor advising the project. Once we post full disclosure on the site, hopefully this will help resolve some of the concerns you've raised. Thanks for the insight; I do hope we end up following Wikipedia's lead on this. And hopefully you'll feel comfortable recommending us in the future ;) Thanks again.
