I do like to see the HONCode on a site, but I wouldn't assume they are actually in compliance. I hadn't thought much about using these sorts of things in a virtual world setting until I looked into visitor logging utilities. Now I am certain that things like web privacy policies, ethics statements and the like do have a place in virtual worlds. Unfortunately, we are still sorting these things out on the web. Good advice.

People were debating whether it is helpful or not. I have had the HONCode in place on several of my websites over the years, and from a business perspective, I don't think it really brings any value, and compliance is time consuming. Some say that it may build trust in your site/organization, but I'm not even sure about that. When people ask me whether it's worth applying, I usually say that if you are already in compliance, maybe... but if you have to make a ton of changes - probably not. However, I will say that many of the guidelines are things that health sites should be looking at anyway. We all need to have a statement about advertising and privacy. Lately, for blogs, I've been recommending the Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics, which is quite popular. http://medbloggercode.com/ There has been some discussion about HONCode recently on Twitter.
