January 3, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’ve been thinking about how we use social media.  How can we characterize what we do?  I have always used Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's Social Technographics ladder for thinking about the various levels of social media participation.  I want to make a simpler ladder of social engagement for use in teaching others about social media.

UpToDate – The Information Prescription

October 23, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

UpToDate, arguably the most trusted information brand in medicine, is now in the patient information game with UpToDate for Patients.
