4. Worldwide Connectivity: No matter if you are searching for a
former college roommate, your first grade teacher, or an
international friend, no easier or faster way
Commonality of Interest :When you opt to participate in a
social network community, you can pick and choose individuals
whose likes and dislikes are similar to yours and build your
network around those commonalities.
Advantages Continues
Real-Time Information Sharing: Many social networking sites
incorporate an instant messaging feature, which lets people
exchange information in real-time via a chat(Brubaker, 1993).
Targeted Advertising: Whether we are non-profit organization
that needs to get the word out about an upcoming fundraiser or
a business owner marketing a new product or service, there's no
better way than social media to get our message in front of
everyone.
Disadvantges
Cyberbullying and Crimes Against Children:Use of social
networks may expose individuals to other forms of harassment
or even inappropriate contact.
Risks of Fraud or Identity Theft: Whether you like it or not, the
information you post on the Internet is available to almost
anyone who is clever enough to access it

5. Time Waster: Business Insider reports that social media is the
most popular use of the Internet - surpassing email - and
smartphones and other mobile devices
Challenges
Maintaining brand reputation: It’s a daunting prospect to hold a
brand’s entire reputation in your hands. However, for anyone
tweeting on behalf of an organisation, this is often the reality.
As this responsibility can fall on a variety of shoulders – from
experienced editors to inexperienced social media execs – it is
vital that brands set up proper guidelines for all employees to
follow.
Ensuring consistency and conversation The temptation to use
social media solely as a broadcasting platform is
undeniable. While promoting products or campaigns is an
integral part of a brand's strategy, ensuring content is both
relevant and valuable is vital.Instead of basic self-promotion,
the challenge for companies is to find ways to create content
that reflects its brand values and personality, as well as
encourages conversation (Scanfeld et al., 2010).
.
Recommendations
Create an account on Facebook, Myspace, or any online social
networks that may be relevant to your specialization and the
patients you advise. Accounts can be set up as profile pages,

6. describing an individual, or as a corporate or (secondary) page.
A secondary account can be created in order to keep your
profile professional and public while also being able to maintain
a private life.
Provide information about your expertise along with a statement
that includes advice that you would provide for others including
websites that you have seen provide accurate health
information. By posting references to websites that are
reputable sources for health information (such as the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention websites), health providers will
be able to reduce the impact of consumers receiving inaccurate
health information online.
Recommendations Continues
Provide information about your location, whether you are
willing to receive emails, and how often you plan to respond to
their messages. Set your profile security settings to a level
according to your comfort. Provide information about your
specialty and background. It is important to set up security
settings and state your level of commitment to those who might
contact y
Taking a more active role in communication with patients via
social networking technologies (such as through multi-media
posts or blog updates) could potentially increase patients for
providers who want to expand their practice.
Conclusion
Online consumers of health information are at risk because they
are using disreputable health information sources to guide their
health decisions and behaviors. This report has offered practical

7. advice on how health information providers can use online
social networking technologies to direct consumers to reputable
health information sites in order to curb this problem. We
believe these steps will be in the best interest of both health
providers and patients, and will be a cost-effective approach to
reduce the consequences of patients receiving inaccurate online
health information.
