See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor
How social context is playing a role in SEO and how marketers can adjust their strategies to match the changing character of search.
“More and more, search engines have begun to incorporate social context into their search results. And it’s high time we dive into what role social context is playing in SEO, and how marketers can adjust their strategies to match the changing character of search. So without further ado, let’s get into the nitty gritty of what’s being called “social search” and learn how it affects marketers.
“Social search” is an evolving term for the way in which search engines factor a user’s social network — also referred to as social graph — into how results are displayed after a search query. In social search, content that has a social connection to you in some way is prioritized. A social connection could mean someone you are linked to via Facebook, Twitter, or any other major social network. Alternately, some forms of social search prioritize content that has been shared by social media influencers, even if those experts aren’t directly tied to you”.

My Pilgrimage to Mayo – Year Two
I look forward to Dan Dunlop’s sharing of the highlights of the Mayo Ragan Healthcare Social Media Summit.
This week I am attending the 4th annual Mayo Ragan Healthcare Social Media Summit. What I love about this conference is the concentration of healthcare social media thought leaders. Of all the conferences I attend each year, this is the one where I bump into the folks I follow on Twitter for their insights on healthcare social media. The line up of speakers and panelists is terrific. A few of my favorites include:
- Dr. Natasha Burgert
- Dr. Farris Timimi
- Lee Aase
- Dr. Bryan Vartabedian
I’m also looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues from around the country. In attendance will be friends and colleagues like Bob West, Chris Boyer, Tim Brennan, Beth Anne Atkins, Carla Bryant, Jessica Levco, Ann Tracy Mueller, Dan Hinmon and so many others!
Over the next couple of days I’ll be blogging and Tweeting live from Rochester Minnesota. Feel free to follow along. The hashtag for the…

This week Saint Elizabeth Health Care is hosting an event and they’d like to involve the #hcsmca community to take part both during the event and to extend the conversation post event. I’ve invited Christine Stewart to explain.
By Christine Stewart (@StElizabethSEHC and @CareToKnowORG)
The power of engagement is the ability of an individual to have a say, make an impact, and to contribute in ways that were never before possible.
As guest moderator of this week’s #hcsmca chat (October 17, 2012), I’m excited that the chat will follow an exciting event happening the day before.
