Social media FTW: Mayo Clinic offers early access for journalists and bloggers in health news

Recently launched "Mayo Clinic News Network" is billed as multimedia source for journalists, health science and research of information: http://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org

No cost, password-protected site for journalists offers the latest medical news, video, graphics, and links to background, interviews, animation experts and patient. Journalists from TV, radio, newspapers, Blogsand mobile platforms are invited to visit our website http://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org and register. Pending approval, you will have access to this rich source of multimedia content.

Equipped with high quality video from the Mayo Clinic about CasesBlog 2-3 times a month, and after some brief account recorded and applied for access. I'll let you know if a medical blog with 7 million page views qualify for access to Mayo Clinic news network or not (update: the application has been approved).

The ACP's flagship magazine, Annals of Internal Medicine, already includes medical bloggers in their press release embargo before each new number.

The ACP internist site took a step further and includes guest post by hand doctor blogger (disclaimer: I'm one of the authors selected). Many of the posts are very interesting and cover a wide range of topics. You can see it here: http://blog.acpinternist.org

Congratulations to the ACP editor Ryan DuBosar, who is leading the medical initiative blog there: http://blog.acpinternist.org/2012/05/qd-news-every-day-nearly-1-in-8-doctors.html

Children's ability to "roam" was destroyed, and they gather on social media sites

From The NYTimes:

Danah Boyd, a senior researcher at Microsoft and an Assistant Professor at New York University: "children's ability to roam is basically been destroyed. Leaving the child out to bike around the neighborhood is seen as terrific now, although by all measures, life is safer for children today. "


Children are of course on social media sites for relatively unattended conversations, flirt, immature humor and social exchanges that are a normal teenager stuff hang-out, he said.


In addition, the great panic behavior on-line teenager distracts from potential benefits.


Let children be children-the unstructured play time can be more important than homework, suggests a child psychologist. "Children have lost 8 hours per week of free play, unstructured and spontaneous in the last 2 decades because of homework. Reduction of unstructured play time is partly responsible for slowing cognitive and emotional development of children. 5 Years now had the ability to self-regulation of a 3-year-old in the 1940s; the critical factor seems to be discipline, but he hasn't been playing. "

Building a Social Media Travel & Tourism Strategy


However, since the buzz about social media optimization continues, I find many digital marketers in the travel and tourism sector (not to mention generally) are still struggling with how to apply the latest and greatest tactics to drive real value from social media.

Many of the marketing people I speak working within the various hotel chains often claim to be undertaking a social marketing campaign. However, I meet very few who are doing this within a broader integrated campaign and at best is often a simply fan page on Kaixin, renren or Facebook. This is a very one dimensional understanding of the use of social media marketing and misses a huge opportunity to develop a dialog with communities of travelers (and potentially reach new clients).

Further, many hoteliers and other travel suppliers are not aware of their standing on travel review and social sites. They don't take advantage of the review sites, either as a way to gauge the competition or have a better understanding of the sentiment related to their brand. You should realize that when someone searches in a search engine, these review sites will be shown in the search results. Therefore it's critical to seed the basic listing info necessary to draw users into learning more about your service. In the travel planning and research cycle, exposure to your brand constantly reinforces the idea that you may just have something to suit a particular type of traveler. Be sure all of your information is up to date, including rates, URL, phone numbers, office hours, etc., and provide an accurate and unique description of the business to each site whenever possible. You'd be amazed how much of the information out there is out of date or duplicated across multiple sites based on outdated information. Test it out.. if you have not done so, pop your brand into Baidu or Google and look at the results.. also don't stop at page three.. I like to continuing looking at the search results on the 4th and 5th pages.. often this is where I find either the most positive or most negative feedback.

So a of couple of take always for those in the travel sector wanting to get more from social media marketing (smm). Understand your objectives of a social media campaign, understand the time-frame and what you are using to measure success, leverage review sites, use tools to measure your brands sentiment and also know where people are talking about you online.

Just as an online branding campaign is unique so is a SMM campaign. However, the tips above are universal and may help you in securing better outcomes for your campaign and ultimately your brand. If you have some more take aways of have suggestions on other key points please add them here.
