A few weeks ago, John Pugh (@boehringer – Driector of External Communications at Boehringer-Ingelheim) and I (@shwen) co-presented a webinar on “Pharma Twitterama: Exlporing the Use of Twitter in Pharma and Healthcare” (organized by ExL). If you missed the webinar or want to review the contents again, the hashtag for the event was #Twitterama — you can also follow the “Twitter trail” via the CoverItLive tweet archive on the event website or you can order a recording (CD-ROM) for a rather hefty premium.
Anyway, here are my slides from the webinar and a brief description of the topics I covered. Your comments and feedback are welcome and greatly appreciated:
Here are the topics I covered, together with some links to references:
- What is Twitter?
- Visualizing the Tipping Point, Social CRM - Twitter Basics
- Beyond Twitter Basics — “Enter the Twitterverse”
- Gazing into the Twitterverse, Hashtags.org, How to Use Tweetdeck Effectively

Over the next few weeks, I hope to dive deeper into some of these topics (I know I’m severely behind on writing a “proper” blog of late) and I’ll aslo ask John, my co-presenter, to post his slides and possibly do a guest blog about it. In the mean time, I hope you find these useful — would love to hear your comments, suggestions, feedback, thoughts, etc.
