Why Social Media Matters for
Public Health Practice
“Health is social. Health is mobile. What are you spreading?” Susannah Fox
“Getting millions of people to go to a polling place on one specific day to pull a lever, touch a screen or mark a ballot using social media really isn’t all that complicated.
Using social media to get one obese 68-year-old man who lives alone to test his blood sugar three times a day for the rest of his life? Now that’s a social media challenge.” Blogger Craig Stoltz

Social media is changing our daily lives
1. Where we get our news
2. How we start and do business
3. How we meet and stay in touch
4. What we reveal
5. What we can influence.

“The Web is no longer a collection of static pages of HTML that describe something in the world.
Increasingly, the Web is the world – everything and everyone in the world casts an "information shadow," an aura of data which, when captured and processed intelligently, offers extraordinary opportunity and mind bending implications. Web Squared is our way of exploring this phenomenon and giving it a name.”
Tim O’Reilly
Web 2.0 is all about harnessing collective intelligence
applications that literally get better the more people use them
conversation
Tim O’Reilly’s call to action
…But 2009 marks a pivot point in the history of the Web. It’s time to leverage the true power of the platform we’ve built. The Web is no longer an industry unto itself – the Web is now the world.
And the world needs our help.
