HHS/FDA/CDC Social Media Tools for Consumers and Partners
New to me- and a good idea to put all of this on one page.
http://www.cdc.gov/socialmedia/
I didn’t know the CDC was on MySpace or that the FDA had a recall Twitter feed.
I decided I should definitely follow the CDC’s Twitter feed for Health Professionals, which is for “…Health Professionals interested in staying up-to-date with CDC’s interactive media activities…”
They’ve also got a widget to help consumers search for products impacted by the Peanut-Containing Product Recall (embedded below).
Includes:
- Blogs
- eMail Subscriptions
- Health-e-Cards
- Mobile Information
- Online Video
- Phone/Email
- Podcasts
- RSS Feeds
- Social Networks
- Badges for Social Networks
- Virtual Worlds
- Web Sites
- Widgets
