Wow! I finally learned to “twitter”! My husband and I have been laughing about it for quite some time. Does it not sound just a little funny?! Well, I finally jumped in on this too. If Dr. Gupta can twitter, so can I!
Here is the scoop…twitter is an online social network that allows people to communicate with others the answer to one simple question, “What are you doing?” I love it! What a great way to let people know the latest without interrupting their day with phone calls, emails, text messages, or instant messages. However, twitter can be linked to your phone’s text messaging system so the “tweets” will be delivered instantaneously if you so choose.
At first glance, this may seem somewhat childish. However, among the twitter-ers are, as I said, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr. Kristi Funk, a fellow breast surgeon. We all know Dr. Gupta, and his twitter page can be found here. Dr. Funk is a breast surgeon at the Pink Lotus Breast Center. The organization has a twitter page that announces updates, such as Dr. Funk’s hosting of a special Lifechangers segment on Extra TV, among others. Interestingly, Dr. Funk also has a Facebook page for a breast cancer group that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. I will save Facebook for another day.
Twitter is a great way to connect with friends, family, colleagues, and even potential business leads. Furthermore, it is absolutely free! To start twitter-ing, go to www.twitter.com and sign up. Once you have signed up, let us know; we would love to follow your progress! Oh, and if you would like to follow us, go to our twitter page here or on twitter and click follow!
Until next time, stay happy and healthy! God bless!
