On March 3′rd I asked the question: “I currently track 187 hospitals using Social Media tools – when will we go past 200?”
The prolific blogger and Twitter user, Ves Dimov predicted that number would reached by the end of March. It was a safe bet, the submissions have come in at a steady pace over the past two weeks. Here’s the current count:
- 206 Hospitals total
- 124 YouTube Channels
- 82 Facebook pages
- 117 Twitter Accounts
- 22 Blogs
FYI the 200′th Hospital was Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL with their Twitter account.
As you can see from the update list below, most of the growth continues to be with Twitter. At this pace, it should become the most popular social media tool by early April.
What’s Next?
