  This news article announced the establishment of www.ChronicPainConnection.com which provides information on the topic of pain, including blogs written by professionals, feature video of personal experience, and online publications. Referring to the article, the website is run by the collaboration of the HealthCentral network and the American Pain Foundation (APF); it aims at encouraging people who are affected by pain to access to pain care and share pain experience. The website also links to other health websites referring to different pain conditions. Furthermore, it provides an online community and forum for people to discuss the topic of pain, which allows instant interaction between patients and experts. It can be seen that collaboration plays an important role in operating this website as it connects different groups of people, such as pain professionals, patient experts, and pain patients, together by offering a place to share and gain information about pain.
  
  In addition, all resources (blogs, videos, publications, etc) in this website are managed with powerful and user-friendly collaborative features, which reduces the technical skill requirement to use the functions offered by the website and allows users to focus on the information and collaborative tasks with fewer obstacles (Boulos, Maramba, & Wheeler, 2006). As those online resources can be saved or download, those information can also be used offline, which extends the online collaboration and allows even more flexibilities.
