You’re attending a healthcare conference and have one of those moments where something of real value to you was said. Or perhaps you’re attending one of these special unconferences that spur incredible creativity and innovating thought. In both cases, two issues often pop up. “I need to make some good notes of this”, and “more people should have been here right now to hear this stuff”. Just a short time ago, many of these in-the-moment ideas during these conferences were often strictly limited to the attending participants and closed to the public. It’s pretty safe to say that those ideas would have had a better chance of being profitable had the audience been greater and the conference more open.

Using these 200 non-disease hashtags, you have created over 1 million tweets!This number is simply staggering! Even when we eliminate “spam” from certain hashtags, it’s beyond doubt that there are an incredible number of conversations taking place in a large number of medical specialties and healthcare interests.

Furthermore, if anyone wanted to find his tweet, that was pretty simple too, because Jack’s tweet was the very first tweet … ever!  So there wasn’t much competition.  It didn’t fall unbelievably far down everyone’s home-feed in just a few heartbeats, and it wasn’t lost among the barrage of tweets about last night’s game, the news story of the day, or what all of your friends were having for dinner.

Many organizations and tweeps successfully used it to share mental health information with a much wider network. During our wrap-up discussion on keeping momentum, other hashtags were mentioned. I volunteered to make a list and here’s what I found in use as of June 2. If you know of more, or start a new one, please leave a comment. If you’re new to hashtags and Twitter, learn more in this brief video. Use Twitter Search or other tools to follow hashtags. Most are to tag relevant tweets at any time, but some are used for weekly events like #mentalhealthmonday, and chats on different topics. Check the schedules and use Tweetchat to joi...

As Twitter has evolved into a real-time news tool, it’s time to stop wondering about its value and start developing a real strategy. I recently read a post from Sally Falkow, a seasoned PR professional who blogs at the Proactive Report. She gave 10 tips to use in making Twitter a legitimate PR tool: 1. Find your Tweeple. (Your target audience/community) 2. Follow people who are talking about you, your brand and your industry 3. Set goals for your Twitter activity 4. Provide valuable content 5. Don’t treat Twitter like another broadcast medium 6. Tweet every day 7. Use Hashtags 8. Take note of the latest trends and buzz on Twitter 9. Be helpful 10.

At first I didn’t understand it at all. What are all these symbols, I wondered, and all the strange messages that were half of a conversation. As I read up on Twitter I found out about hashtags and @ replies. I discovered that you could send direct messages to your followers. It became clearer, but I still didn’t see the value. I started following major Twitter users like Mari Smith and Chris Brogan. Their tweets sometimes made sense, but all too often were out of context… I couldn’t tell what was going on. Then one day, I found a couple of helpful tutorials by Michael Hyatt and Nicole Nicolay on taking Twitter to the next level. Following Nicole’s advice, I installed Hootsuite on my computer and learned how to send out tweets at ...
