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 the hashtag #tweetcamp Continue to tweet any questions or comments using the same hashtag

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”

Assignments Sign up for Twitter if you haven’t yet Set up your account to conform to Mayo guidelines Follow @leeaase and @mayoclinic Get Tweetdeck or Twhirl Start listening, following, re-tweeting See full Twitter curriculum http://bit.ly/gt8p
