The sold out Third Tuesday event this week in Ottawa saw the city’s social media crowd fill the room at Maxwells on Elgin Street to learn about social media and health care. Presenter Ann Fuller, CHEO‘s public relations director and a health care social media pioneer, didn’t disappoint; she offered an almost hour-long presentation so chock full of interesting facts, figures, case studies taking notes was pretty much impossible.

Five would kick Twitter to the curb.
Four would shirk LinkedIn.
Three would leave …

Five people said they’d never done it. Another respondent said that …

Users must be listed on Grader to be included on either table.
