Twitter vs. Facebook Facebook is primarily for strengthening existing connections (or re-establishing former ones.) For your friends. Twitter enables you to connect with people who have common interests. For the friends you don’t know yet.

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 Blog = platform for review/synthesis Twitter = great for spreading word about posts

Assignments for Virtual, Non-Mayo Participants Introduce yourself with a tweet that includes your employer name, your city and the hashtag #tweetcamp2 Alternate: http://tweetchat.com/ room/tweetcamp2 Continue to tweet any questions or comments using the same hashtag

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

More Reasons to Care Twitter trafﬁc grew 33 percent in 1 month Whether Twitter remains the “hot” platform or not, this type of communication tool will grow in importance Ed Bennett’s list had 132 hospitals with Twitter accounts 4/15/09, and keeping up with growth is hard http:/ /ebennett.org/hsnl/

The story continues...

Twitter Hashtags Enable easy gathering, especially around an event, such as: #journchat #hcsm #mhsfellows #LeeAaseIsReallyWonderful - unused to date Follow in search.twitter.com - try searching for #tweetcamp2 now! Or log into room on Tweetchat.com Create a hashtag simply by using it in a tweet

Use Case/Pilot #1: Tweetcamp II (#tweetcamp2) Promoted exclusively externally through Twitter, blogs, Facebook - starting Monday, 4/20 Webcast added yesterday Webcast registrations: 47 as of 5 a.m. 4/23 65 as of 11 a.m. 4/23 We’re living the pilot right now

Use Case/Pilot #2: #healthedreform Mayo Clinic National Symposium on Medical and Health Care Education Reform April 27-28, with Web cast Several Mayo staff live-tweeting and encouraging others to watch and tweet Potential to broaden event awareness and participation

Use Case/Pilot #3: Communicating Research #a1cflex - Dr. Victor Montori discussing diabetes paper at 5 p.m. CDT on Monday, April 27 - http:/ /bit.ly/pxhaJ Goal: Live, focused discussion of research findings in Annals of Internal Medicine, to help engage interested community and disseminate findings

Using Twitter with Yammer Yammer = Twitter for Enterprise Adding #yam tag to Tweets can import to Yammer See Yammer curriculum for more background: http://bit.ly/dKPP0 One tweet to share externally and internally

Yammering via Twitter Less than a minute later, on Yammer:

The Twitter API A toolkit other programmers can use to create useful services based on Twitter Examples include: TwitPic.com for sharing photos Phone applications (e.g. Twitteriﬁc, Twittelator, Tweetie, Twitterberry) and Desktop clients (e.g. Tweetdeck, Twhirl) Hootsuite.com to schedule tweets Hundreds of others (tweet your favorites and their functions w/#tweetcamp2 hashtag, please!)

Twitter Etiquette Generally follow your followers Following not = endorsement Auto d to new followers = Not Cool “Protecting” updates also = Not Cool Replying (@) = Cool Re-Tweet (RT) to credit sources, help followers ﬁnd interesting tweeters also = Cool Don’t conceal work afﬁliation

Evolving “Follow” Policy At ﬁrst @mayoclinic didn’t follow anyone Then started following other medical providers But only people we follow can send direct messages, so we began adding “non-salesy” tweeters New approach: Follow followers who show they want to be followed by sending a tweet saying: “@mayoclinic please follow”

@mayoclinic Proﬁle

Sample Twitter Bio

How I Monitor and Respond in Twitter Two accounts: @leeaase and @mayoclinic Use Tweetdeck as @leeaase, with panes for All Friends “Top Tweeps” Replies Directs Search (“Mayo Clinic” or mayoclinic) Twhirl as @mayoclinic

My Twitter Priorities Following 1,000+ in two accounts = Fire Hose Particular emphasis on Replies, Directs and tweets mentioning Mayo Clinic Scan “All Friends” as able, but no guilt trip As tweeps say interesting things or interact, add to “Top Tweeps”

Finding “Tweeps” Search for terms that interest you on search.twitter.com See who is saying interesting things Follow them Try services like http://mrtweet.com/ and http://www.twellow.com/

Assignments Sign up for Twitter if you haven’t yet Set up your account to conform to Mayo guidelines Follow @leeaase, @mayoclinic & @EdBennett Get Tweetdeck or Twhirl Start listening, following, re-tweeting See “10 Ways You Can Use Mayo Clinic’s Social Media Tools” - http://bit.ly/43Sbqc See full Twitter curriculum http://bit.ly/gt8p
