DESCRIPTION
This is a presentation that I gave to the Florida Academy of Family Physicians in Jacksonville, Florida on October 24, 2009. The content is a general introduction to social media theory, with an emphasis on how the elements of community, authenticity, family and intimacy found in social media directly correlate to family physicians. Additionally, FAFP has been engaging younger doctors through their Facebook page and are looking to take this to the next level.

Why?
Advocacy works because real people are behind what is being said – the same goes for social media.
Real people listen to real people.

Social media expedites and extends nearly every action.
It’s like sending something FedEx next day, but without the extra charge.
It’s like being in print, on TV and radio in a single move.

Social media is a logical extension of what we’ve been doing for centuries.
The technology and medium has changed…
…but the same driving need to connect, learn, express, share and interact has not.
(In other words, tweets are the new hieroglyphics…)
(... Facebook is the new front porch…)
(… blogs are the new newspapers...)
(… and YouTube / Hulu / Netflix are the new TVs / movie theaters.)
More good news:
We all own the means of publication.

How?
“[Users] make their credibility-based decisions about the people or organization…
…based upon the overall visual appeal.”
Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, 2002
The more you publish…
…the more you appear.

How to Make an Impact
Publish early and often. Create efficiencies by uploading photos to Flickr, tag for optimization (terms and people) and populate website via Flickr gallery.
Social media should be a part of every strategy. From communications and PR, to operations and recruitment. Allow social media to be the omnipresent gift it wants to be for every facet of your organization.
Empower your people. They tell your story in a way that no one else can. Get them comfortable with the medium, get them organized and in sync… and then let them test, measure and recalibrate.
Closing
You get out what you put in. Social media is a like a pet, not furniture. Nurture, don’t walk away.
The marketplace is now a conversation. Are you listening, do you have a voice? And like with any conversation, listening is key.
To make it work in the long run, you need infrastructure. In order to circulate your content and maximize what social media has to offer, you need to have a plan and multiple pathways. Start slow, integrate and don’t over-commit.
You Give
You Get
Reduce transaction costs. Go further, faster with your target audiences.
Bypass mainstream media. Write your story, publish your own content.
Go big, go small. Unprecedented ability to scale and target.
“Social media is bringing back humanity to all digital life.
We are no longer users, consumers, shoppers.
We are people again.”
ReadWriteWeb, January 2009
