Twitter vs. Blogs • Twitter is a micro-blogging platform. • Limited length reduces writer’s/artist’s block • Blogs provide opportunity for more thoughtful reflection and development • Tweeting = great way to take notes on a live event AND spread word about it • Blog = platform for review/synthesis • Twitter = great for spreading word about posts
- 9. 5 Reasons Twitter is Better than Email • “Brevity is the soul of wit” - and of Twitter • No expectation to read and respond to everything • Conversations open and discoverable • Direct messages can reach recipients with priority • Blocking or unfollowing punishes abuses
- 10. So what can you say in 140 Characters anyway? • http://socialmedia.mayoclinic.org/2012/06/14/ mayo-clinic-patient-app-highlighted-at-apple- keynote/ • http://bit.ly/KwwI7I • Thanks to bit.ly, a 99-character URL shrinks to 20 characters, leaving room for commentary
- 11. Twitter Hashtags • Enable easy gathering around an event (real-life or virtual) or a topic, such as: • #hcsm • #MCCSM • #TweetcampRWJF • Create a hashtag simply by using it in a tweet: no permission required.

- 17. Practical Case Study: UT Split Tear
- 23. Nov 12, 2009 USA Today 3031031-7
- 26. Last Friday 3031031-9
- 27. Less than 24 hours after my initial appointment, I not only had a new diagnosis - a UT split tear - but had surgery to correct the problem. As I write this, my right arm is in a festive green, but otherwise annoying cast. The short-term hassle, however, should be more than worth the long-term gain - the potential for a future without chronic wrist pain. A future, that without Twitter and those in the medical community willing to experiment with new communications tools, might not exist for me. 3031031-10
