Thing 4

Examples of social networking sites that might be useful to researchers/clinicians/academics...

NHS Evidence Facebook Page - http://www.facebook.com/evidence.nhs.uk
This is an easy way for clinicians to keep up to date with NHS Evidence news and resources, which may then aid them in practice and research.

NEJM on Twitter - http://twitter.com/#!/NEJM
Clinicians and researchers might like to follow the New England Journal of Medicine on Twitter.  Article headlines or very brief synopses are tweeted, with the option to then click through to the article abstract/full text.  This would be a really useful way of keeping up with new research whilst on the move, e.g. viewing tweets on a mobile phone whilst on a train etc. It is very easy to scan down the list of tweets and quickly establish which articles are of interest.
