Sucked in by Social Media

I admit it's a thrill to be "clicked through." I posted an article from AP on a Cornell-led initiative to start a "Facebook for Scientists" to my alma mater's LinkedIn News page -- see screenshot below.

In only a few days, the story was clicked through 129 times as measured by HootSuite.

I even received good feedback from the EVP of a conference recording company. In fact, the resource he sent me is the best I've found thus far on whether scientists use social media.

So for me, social media works.

The Future is Now.....
