How to Get Started on Twitter

(2010)  Did you know 557 hospitals are currently using Twitter, and 41 of those are New England hospitals? Are you curious how they’re exploring Twitter as a branding and relationship-building tool?

Say you want to find out what Mayo Clinic is doing. You’d be the 54,369th follower!

Here are the basics to get started:

1. Go to twitter.com and click on the “Let me in” button to sign up

2. Enter your name, a password and email address

You’ll now have an account (there’s more you can add, but that can wait)

To follow Mayo Clinic:

1.  Click “Find People” and enter “Mayo Clinic”.  A list of all recent tweets (messages) from Mayo Clinic will appear.

2.  Simply click on the left of the 3 buttons that appear next to the message and you will now be following Mayo Clinic.

It’s really that simple.
