Do you tweet? If you haven’t tried, Twitter is actually a great way to quickly get information about research and publications – after all, Twitter does have about 320 million monthly active users many of whom are healthcare professionals, publishers of academic journals, and organizations.
If you didn’t know, Duke General Internal Medicine has a Twitter account. Our “handle” is @Duke_GIM.
This week we explored Twitter Analytics. We learned, for the past three months, these were our top 5, our most viewed tweets, that is, the ones with the most “Impressions.” [An impression is the number of times users saw the tweet].
