Updating blogs with mobile

Using a Nokia N97 and the new functionality of Posterous, which is autopostr.
This is no 'groundbreaking' technology, but I only want to stress the ease of use. The very simple keyboard (which allows reasonable fast typing) of the N97 and its 5 megapixel camera are the base for this lightweight type of communication. The posterous autopostr updates posterous + blog by sending ONE email. Can't get any easier then that.
Could use a spellcheck though.

Posterous autopost strongly recommended by moi

How does autoposting work?
Just set up your other accounts here. The next time you post to posterous, we will instantly autopost everywhere else:
  • Facebook profile newsfeeds will be updated each time you post to notify your friends. You can also autopost photos to your photo album and embed your blog directly in your profile.
  • Twitter messages will use the title of your post up to 130 characters, and then append a shortened post.ly url.
  • Flickr photos will be put automatically in your photostream. If you attach multiple photos, we'll post them all in the order we receive them.
  • Blogs will be updated with the full content you send us. We'll host your images, music and files, so you don't have to lift a finger.
You control where we post.
Just email the right address and we'll do the right thing.

You can also address an email to #{text}@posterous.com and it will post to any site where the url contains that text.

#apple@posterous.com will go to apple.wordpress.com and flickr.com/apple, but NOT banana.blogspot.com.

ROI of social media in healthcare #bbmtehc

ROI
  • Volunteers / Fundraising / Charity
  • Get media coverage (= also reputation?)
  • Expectancy / Reputation / Credibility
  • Patient guidance + empowerment
  • Blurring lines of geograpical borders / limitations (= also reputation?)
  • Follow up negative comments + conversation in general (= also reputation?)
  • Teaching / Education
  • If someone is searching for you on web, and doesn’t find you, you don’t exist! Ditto w/social media
REMARKS
  • Four primary social media tools for hospitals--Facebook, You Tube, Twitter, and blogs.
  • Doctor engagement when low cost in terms of time (flip video in stead of blog postings)
  • ROI <-> ROC =Return on Connections
  • Not focus on 1 medium, fast switching (ex. from MySpace -> Facebook)
  • "Social media is the 21st century evolution of Word of Mouth." -@LeeAase
  • "Our first step (at MD Anderson) was to think about identifying our audience. What content are they interested in?" -@JennTex
  • @JennTex - your hospital's target audiences will influence or dictate which #sm aand #hcsm sites & tools you will use
  • Loss of "control" difficult for many #hospitals to accept
  • The end of traditional "Push-only" Web sites
  • One great idea, use unique 800#s to measure interest from Social Media channels
  • should use more than just number of friends to track success, but use landing pages ie. specific url's to drive traffic and measure / Using a landing page in a tweet allows you to track the users activity on the site after they've followed the lead
  • How about Cost Of Not Investing in social media? / What's the "Return on Ignoring"? ==> 40% decrease in visitors after stopping sm activities
  • HIPAA is concern in tweeting medical and surgical procedures; but not significantly differ from video and articles from procedures
  • Love use of the word "moderate" rather than control. Too many ppl feel the need to control SM
  • Most effective videos come from simple cameras, person telling story in powerful, honest and truthful way. No polish.

Comparing microblogs: Shoutem FTW

TOP
Private networks: ok
Speed: REALLY FAST
Simple interface
Post length +140: ok (set mine to 500 which is fine for internal communication)
Embeddable: ok (via widgets)
Notifications per email: all kinds of settings (i prefer daily digest)
Mobile UI
RSS feed

WOULD BE GREAT FEATS
#tags : autofill (yammer has this, must have for consistency) OR limit number of tags
@reply: autofill
SMS
Tag list in the user-column
Hitting 'enter' to shout / send a message (in stead of clicking 'shout')
Dutch translation
Reply arrow should be a curve
Customizable 'favorite' button: would be great if i could choose another image and rename it to 'tasks' for example

MUST IMPROVE
Mobile UI is nice, but apparantly it has no direct link. For use on a mobile phone, i have to go for the (non-mobile) standard home page first
Document attachments
Come out of beta soon so i can subscribe to premium; getting rid of ads and activating file-sharing
Search-function works great, putting it away in the right hand top corner is a shame. Give it a better place and enlarge/color/bold the font(size).
