Another Purpose of Social Media

What do you usually share on Twitter or the Facebook? You have found a delicate restaurant in the corner of the street? You like to post the lovable picture of your puppy? Or you would like to share the happy moment of your party?

What we usually do on the social media is to do some entertainment activities, but have you try to ask for medical advice when you are sick. This seems to be a new trend in the U.S. 80 percent of the young adult between 18 to 24 said that they’d like to share health information on the social media. 90% said they trust others’ information. The things go oppose to the men between 45 to 65. What would you do if you are ill? To turn to your doctor or to internet to ask your net friends ?

"Health organizations have an opportunity to use social media as a way to better listen, participate in discussions, and engage with consumers in ways that extend their interaction beyond a clinical encounter." Kelly Barnes, U.S. Health Industries leader for PwC, said in a statement.
