Last week when I was in Seattle I had the opportunity to talk with Rick Mulready for his Inside Social Media podcast series.
We had a good conversation, and I think you might find it helpful. You can listen here, or download directly as mp3.
You’ll also want to check out some of the segments in the archives, including the inaugural edition featuring Scott Monty.
I’m in Orlando today for a presentation to FSHPRM, which is the public relations and marketing group affiliated with the Florida Hospital Association. I’ve spoken to this group a couple of times previously, the last time being in February 2009. It’s fun to look back at what I was saying then, and how far we have progressed.
Here are my slides for this morning’s presentation:
I’m organizing this presentation a little differently from what I’ve done in the last couple of years, and also adding some new material. What do you think?
The HCSM Review is a peer-reviewed blog carnival for everyone interested in health care social media, and I’m glad to be moderating the 32nd edition. This time we’re focusing on the ways technology is improving the lives of patients, and how patients are taking advantage of social tools to improve their own lives.
Leading off, we have an essay contest through the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media for patients and caregivers to win scholarships to attend Social Media Week at Mayo Clinic. We published the first batch of the essays and opened the voting on Monday. So as not to play favorites, here’s the link to the page where all of the essays are featured. Check them out and cast your votes.

Brian McGowan will be hosting HCSM Review #33.
SMUG is again hosting the Health Care Social Media Review, the blog carnival focused on health care social media, curating some of the latest stories, research and resources shared by colleagues.
Because the financial cost of blogging and using social networking platforms is typically zero (or close to it), and because these tools enable people overcome barriers of time and space and to make connections, they have great potential to help patients find their voice. In Issue 32 of the HCSM Review, we’re looking for great stories of how patients are taking advantage of social tools to gain knowledge and find support.

Yesterday as part of my presentation for the Benedictine Development Symposium in Schuyler, Nebraska I did a little demo to show the Tweetcamp participants the speed and reach of Twitter.
The exercise was amazing; within less than an hour we had responses from Australia, Spain, Sweden and Italy and several Canadian provinces (including one tweeted from an airplane), as well as about 20 U.S. states.
Thanks to everyone who retweeted or replied! You made an impression on the participants in the symposium!
The participants found the content of your tweets encouraging and inspiring, too…not just the wide geographic dispersion. Thanks for your help!
