How to Monitor Social Media in 20 Minutes Per Day
You’ve already heard us talk about the importance of having social media accounts, but monitoring those accounts is JUST as important – if not more. You don’t have time to scroll through Twitter hours upon hours per day. But the good news is – you don’t have to!
Here’s how to monitor social media in just 20 minutes per day:

Yes, There Is a Place for Social Media Marketing in Your Medical Practice
Marketing represents an incredibly important aspect of the business of medicine that doctors often overlook. Physicians, doubling as businessmen and women, are often so focused on patient care (reasonably so), increasing volume, and ensuring payment for their services that they overlook one of the key elements to ensure patients continue to walk through the door: marketing.
Today’s business environment offers numerous ways to market – print, paid advertisements, web, and social media to name a few. Of these, social media marketing is one of the most cost effective methods and is quite easy to incorporate into the marketing plan of any practice. Physician’s Monthly Digest
Fast food companies use social networking sites to target children
Australia’s voluntary advertising codes around the marketing of fast food to children are not very effective in protecting them from being manipulated by innovative online marketing, especially in social media, our new research has found.
Australia has a set of regulatory and self-regulatory measures controlling the promotion of food and beverages to children. The system of industry self-regulation codes includes the Responsible Children’s Marketing Initiative (RCMI) and Quick Service Initiative (QSRI), administered by the Advertising Standards Board.

Yes, Serious Academics Should Absolutely Use Social Media
An academic, writing anonymously at The Guardian’s “Academic Anonymous” (natch), has sought to contrast their “serious academic” status with the new-fangled expectation that yea, verily, even sober, serious academics should engage via social media with the riffraff of the world.
What Serious Academic (SA) really achieved, though, is drawing a distinction between their condescending, stuffy perception of who exactly has the right to talk about research and how things work now in this brave new world of increasingly open information. Emily Willingham – Forbes
Social media’s ‘wild west’
Marketing manager and former blogger Rachel Klaver describes social media influencer advertising as the “Wild West”. Rachel Klaver used to get loads of free stuff but she couldn’t pay the rent.
As a relationship blogger in the early 2000s, almost every day a courier would arrive with some new product a PR company hoped she’d plug. “If I could have paid my rent [using] free product I would have been a millionaire I reckon,” www.stuff.co.nz
