John,
About a month or so ago I got something in my inbox from ABIM about a new blog site, and read a blog from Marilyn Mann who is one of the Assessment 2020 task force members. I commented on her well thought out blog post at that time. Also I noticed a name on the 2020 task force committee because I read his book just a while ago and it has to be one of my best reads of all time called Cutting for Stone. So then after I got started on twitter I figured out he has a twitter site, that took me to his wonderful physical exam videos. And also a multitude of links showing his interest of integrating the exam and sanctity into the physician patient relationship. I am of the same mindset, that we under utilize the physical exam and it has been fun watching the videos and reading what he retweets.
Also Marilyn became one of my followers on twitter which really surprised and humbled me, and she has been tweeting all kinds of topics that have been extremely insightful.
So then I have picked a number of physicians, a bit random, but have found this type of interaction very intriguing.
Another follower and one I follow is Courtney Greenwood who also has a way of picking out and tweeting some really cool innovative things as it pertains to the medical field.
It is a bit hard to describe but the constant tweeter feeds as they come in through the day allow you to pick and choose the type and the depth of reading at your level of comfort.
The # thing is yet to be explored!
