I am currently working with several health care clients who are starting to explore social networking sites for recruiting. I am also glad to see a couple of our clients on your list. I would love to talk to you about what you see as the coming trends in social networking for health care. Thanks for the great info! Ed,

My shot at an explanation: 1) Because 140 characters is easier (though, heck, you could limit your blog post to 140 characters if you wanted to). 2) Because Twitter is one site for all accounts whereas there are many sites for many blogs. 3) Because people really want to follow their hospital of choice on Twitter. 4) Because RSS and RSS readers never really caught on with a lot of people, like Britney and Shaq. I think we need six more to make this a decent list. Why would more hospitals have a microblog account (Twitter) than a blog? My shot at an explanation:
