![]() This will, among other things, drastically change the uses we have for facebook during disasters and events. Even a Google or Bing search can find you the page.īut as we now know, messages and pages with hashtags make it much easier for search engines to (rapidly) analyse and show a page in results. Once you liked it, you get the updates of the page, without the need for the tie with your friend. But for now, it was usually through a FB friend’s sharing it, that you got to know such a page. You don’t need to be friended, or even know the person or people who made the page, to be able to see and follow the contents. One of the important and very much evolving features that bypass this necessity, is the possibility to create and/or follow a “page” on FB. You never directly see, or FIND what they said, if they’re not your friend, or a friend of a friend, who shared the content. You generally are only associated with someone on FB after they added you as friend, or after they approved your friend request. The difference that matters most, for our line of work (Event and Disaster Medicine) lies in the way we hook up with people on Facebook and Twitter. Whether it is worth money, or just strengthens the brand of the “network”. And a very close tie with that number exists with the martkeing potential of ANY news.

And in the end of the exercise, the number of people who can obtain a certain kind of information, or even a single piece of information, and how fast they do so, will be the target. And that’s were some of the advantages of Facebook may just well be considered a disadvantage, compared to, let’s say, Twitter.īelieve me, it’s in the numbers. ![]() But the nature of the concept on which most of Social Media are based, is the difference in dynamics between the ones who create the feed, and who or how many read it. It’s what you probably thought you already knew, or, in fact, already did know. The ultimate goal, that both of them share.ĭon’t worry, it’s not a Da Vinci kind of secret. buying Instagram, for Facebook, and consequently Twitter changing the way they display Instagrams), are a result of the same thing. And often, their “actions” that you may or may not understand (e.g. Both have advantages, and both have shortcomings. It’s not taste or color preferences that make you choose one or the other. Both have different features, and do share similarities. At least not anymore.īoth have a different angle on how you interact with your peers, but also on who are your peers. And the difference between both is bigger that you think. Most importantly, how does this concern you as a healthcare worker or manager? Or even as a marketeer? Facebook certainly does feel the heat from Twitter. But how does this concern you? Or your “friends’ on FB? “No hashtags oin Facebook! I will erase my acoount!”. All of that within the same day, as is possible today. ![]() It was an article in the Wallstreet Journal, that was picked up by the LA Times, and quoted by The Age, a Melbourne newspaper.
