The best of Twitter and immune health
My Twitter name is ImmuneDude. The information I post on Twitter is to mainly: 1) provide any updates on
preventive, balanced immune health that is interesting, understandable and, at least in my eyes, legit; 2) connect others with my blog postings; 3) engage in a little dialog with other Tweeps on things I find interesting, compelling or not quite right (in which I might offer a little collegial challenge); 4) have a little fun.
I try to follow those who appear to have some kind of related health interest and tweet regularly (not every 10 minutes). They could be individuals, companies, health institutions, media and non-profits. I also like to follow those who don’t have 20,000 followers, but have a good balance of followers and followees, so that my tweets are not totally lost with most of them. I really like Tweeps who respond to direct messages and tagging, even if they disagree with me. I try to make sure they are not people or firms just pushing products or services. If they are, they are unfollowed as fast as you can say “Spamalot.”
That said, if you are new to Twitter or about to sign up for an account, here are some good health Tweeps that you might start following:
http://twitter.com/Onespot_Allergy
http://twitter.com/HealthGal1103

http://twitter.com/Skinmdnatural
There are many more I could add, and will in the future. Happy Tweeting.
