Greystone.Net 2.0?
Hardly. If you have heard any of us speak on the topic, you know our opinion of anything 2.0 (Web 2.0, Health 2.0, etc.). It’s the ultimate buzzword. “Social media,” on the other hand, is very real.
Entities and individuals are using social media tools to connect with the world around them in increasing numbers and frequency.So, it should be no surprise that Greystone.Net is in that world.In addition to our blog, we now have our own Facebook page. We aren’t the first in healthcare to join Facebook. Mayo Clinic has been there for years, and they have nearly 1,500 fans.
It doesn’t solve all of our problems (a private jet would be better), but it does provide one more way for people to find, learn about and connect with Greystone.Net.
So check it out and let us know what you think. Add a message to the wall, if you are so inclined. And think about adding a Facebook page, or other social media tool, for your hospital or health system. Remember the proverbial man searching for his lost quarter under the street lamp — rather than where he dropped it — because the light is better. Your audience may not be waiting under the bright lights of where you are used to looking for them.
