Hospitals, businesses, newspapers, digital magazines, and most websites use all use blogging technology. Getting feedback from readers in a sustained conversation without limiting the amount of text, with nested replies, likes and dislikes, and links, is one of the basic ways we read online.
Healthcare Organizations Have Blogs: The widespread use of blogging technology alone is reason enough to consider the implications for connecting with others in the healthcare field, including clinicians, patients, journalists and investigators, and many other members of the healthcare community.
Read Fresh and Thought-Provoking Material: The advantage to reading blogs is that you don't have to limit your reading to current news and blog entries that everyone else is reading. Attempt to find unexpected inspiration and new ways of viewing topics from alternative sources.
Blogs Don’t Need to be Balanced: Blogs are useful in conveying an opinion. Reader comments can provide alternative points of view and perhaps build a case for the opposing set of arguments. This is a good way to create a discussion online. If an entry is meant to influence readers, provide them with the best arguments for your opinion. This will convey passion. Balance does not mean provocative, but in its best form solicits new ideas.
QUESTIONS: What is the difference between Facebook, Twitter, other social media, where you can reply or comment, and a blog? Do you read blogs? If so, which ones?
