Now for those of you who are screwing up your forehead, looking at the computer quizzically and saying "hashtag?", I'm talking about Twitter.
To most members of the OzDOC (Australian Diabetes Online Community), Twitter is still a dark, scary place where no one wants to venture. I have been playing in its muddy waters for a while now - and I'm still confused but, with help of other members of the DOC (that's the Diabetes Online Community - Worldwide), I am slowly navigating my way through.
I encourage you to give it a go. Its not as scary as you think and you will make lots of new friends in the DOC. I believe that social media is the way of the future and we must learn to embrace it, not be scared of it.
Twitter is an ideal place to connect with others worldwide and to share information. Basically, as a member of Twitter, you have a "handle" or username (mine is @CoastCath) and you send out "Tweets" - a short status message in 140 characters. You use "hashtags" (things like #OzDOC, #diabetes and #T1D) to mark keywords or topics in your Tweet. If you want to direct a Tweet to a certain person, you use their "handle" in the Tweet, usually at the start to let them know that the Tweet is for them (for example @CoastCath Loving your new Blog about #OzDOC).
So, are you willing to give it a go?
Go to Twitter and register. Then spend some time looking around. Feel your way. "Follow" me if you like and start looking at who I am following and who is following me. You can also use the Search function to find others by using hashtags in your search such as #diabetes. You will find #OzDOC is alive and well.
The first ever #OzDOC chat will be held on Tuesday, 31 July at 8.30pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). Get on board and come and join us.
Yay! I am still slightly bewildered myself as I navigate through Twitter (might be showing my age here) but I am going to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteIt was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure's I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
