FrançaisWho said that Europe closes up in August? Today is the 1st Birthday of the Health Care Social Media EU community and it's an active time all around with birthday parties this evening in various capitals as each chapter makes its national identity better known. For France, the party is announced on Facebook and there will be more surprises announced during the party by @tiphainemf, @xbrochart and myself @health20paris.
At the risk of adding one more definition, HCSMEU is about the use of social media in healthcare in Europe to bring people together in a way that contributes to better health. The HCSMEU community has been built by its founders @andrewspong and @whydotpharma primarily through a series of weekly Tweet-ups or written chats via Twitter since last Aug 2009, on Fridays from 1 to 2pm. They are visible by following the hashtag #hcsmeu on Twitter, Tweetdeck, Hootsuite etc,
The hashtag stream can be seen by clicking on the blue and white image. The tweet-ups bring people together to answer 3 questions that have been posted by the participants. They begin and end promptly and typically Andrew pushes us along from one question to the next...Hmm. The 3rd question is not the best spot to have.
There are also numerous posts on many blogs, a wiki, a daily twitter paper, unconferences.
And for today, Andrew (assisted by Monty) has made a brief birthday speech.
