Social Media and the Future of Nursing

Julia — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:53:15 +0000

Nurses have an incredible knowledge base, but have historically not done well sharing their science with the general public. What might be possible if nurses were trained to use social media to share their expertise? How might that impact the state of public health and wellness? I had the honor of speaking at the the [...]

Why Ning’s Shut Down of Services is Like a High School Break-Up

Julia — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:01:05 +0000

I should have seen it coming last month when CEO Gina Bianchini left and was replaced by Jason Rosenthal. Now he's ending Ning's relationship with about a million networks. It's like a high school break-up. One morning you wake up and decide you don't like your boyfriend or girlfriend any more. So you get a friend to pass them a note from you saying, "it's not you, it's me" and then proceed to ignore one another in the hallways. Except in this case it's a leaked email which is now all over the internet which makes it harder to ignore than an old-fashioned note.

This is a story about how a mild-mannered optometrist from Westchase (a suburb of Tampa) got an idea and rallied the entire world around it. “It doesn’t appeal to everyone, but there is enough geek pride on the internet it’s appealing,” says Dr. Nate. And to reach those it does appeal to, business owners need to take notice.

Like it or not, want it or not - you've got a digital footprint. And it will come up in the search engines when people (a.k.a. your clients, your prospects, your employer, a potential employer, and if you are single - anyone you are going out on a date with) look you up online.

How Can a Wiki Help the Homeless?

Julia — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:49:33 +0000

Last year I had the privilege of working with the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County (HCHC) where I learned about the need for a ‘one-stop-shop’ – a central location where citizens in need could go and get direction on how and where to get help. Hillsborough County has the largest homeless population in the state [...]

Tweet Peeves

Julia — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:00:15 +0000

Pet Peeves After a disgusting run-in with one of my biggest pet peeves – litter – I found myself ruminating on peeves. My thoughts wandered to a site developed by my friend and Tampa TweetUp Co-Host, Josh Carrico – www.peevd.com. And I wondered, if a bunch of tweeple were to collectively voice their twitter pet [...]
