You can’t deny what you’ve been up to online. We have the data.
We know what you’ve been doing on your computer. You’ve been Facebooking and Tweeting up a storm, haven’t you. You can’t deny it. Nielsen has the proof.
Lots of hospitals are using social media, but only 1 in 3 has a plan
Social media is one of those things that seems deceptively simple. You open a Twitter account and send out some Tweets. Perhaps you’ll start a Facebook page and auto-feed in some content. Maybe you’ll upload some videos onto YouTube. These are all uses of social media tools — but using them doesn’t constitute a plan.

Happy Birthday, Facebook! Except not really.
Do you celebrate your birthday on day your parents got nasty? Or do you celebrate it on the day you were born? Mashable, CNN Money/Fortune Magazine and others are reporting this morning that today is Facebook’s birthday — as listed on their own Facebook fan page.

One important note: Walk Score measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle—not how pretty the [...]
Twitter lists: good idea, cumbersome to use, useless in the real world
The average Twitter user may want to see your Tweets, click on your links and be influenced by your brand but probably doesn’t have time to categorize you into lists. As far as the average Twitter is concerned, you’re either followed or not followed, you’re either on or off. It would be akin to requiring a magazine reader to clip out your ad and pin it to a wall to prove they really like you.
