I LOVE my patients 🙂 I really do but they talk and TALK and seem to call at the most inappropriate times!!!!!!!
so, instead having my phone no. on my new business cards I offered my twitter account :idea: (it's linked to my other social profiles)...I thought it would be a great way to build a relationship with my patients without invading ones personal space
but to my stupidity, I didn't realize that most of them don't even have access to the internet, let alone a twitter account!! so I'm writing my phone no. at the back of each card and it looks so messy😡 I hate it

which brings me to what I really want to ask....
I'm in Jordan(it's in the middle east 🙂) Most of the patients that comes are from low socioeconomic class which means NO internet access. does the same apply to patients where you guys at?

@SuperTank
Twitter is simple & quick networking😀
you really have to try it to know it...

@spud daddy
It's not twitter per se..... it's about using social medias to connect directly with your patients....it's the new rules of marketing you guys 🙂
plus twitter offers a unique URL..you know, like this:
twitter.com/yourName

@predent2014
I just wanted to know if there's a quality difference in the patients we see....I mean you guys can leverage the fact that most of your patients are online!!

@armorshell
Wow, I've never heard of it before, might have to check it out..
what do you like about it?
 
OP:

You'd be surprised how many people here either A) don't have personal access to a computer, B) even if they did, wouldn't know the keyboard from the mouse, and C) even if they did know how to use one, wouldn't give a rat's turd about Twitter.

I personally fall into the C category. "Tweeting" is not high up on my To Do list.
