APHA on Twitter & Facebook
I know you've heard of the American Public Health Association, and you've probably heard of Facebook, but Twitter is often a bit of a foreign concept for many folks. Twitter is what is called a microblogging tool - very brief updates, 140 characters usually.
APHA is now on both Twitter and Facebook. You can find them in Facebook simply by searching for APHA and then become a fan to get more information about their updates and news. On Twitter, you can either join Twitter and follow them as a friend, or you can grab teh RSS feed from their Twitter account to have it come to your feed reader, or you can simply visit their Twitter page to see what all they are saying. Personally, I think APHA has one of the most interesting and useful collections of health information in Twitter. Check it out here:
