Day 2: Two Twitter Doves

On day two of our 12 Days of Christmas Posts we consider the relationships we’ve built, news we’ve shared, insights we’ve provided and all that we’ve learned by engaging with experts and industry thought leaders throughout the Twitterverse. Below we highlight some of our best twitter tips and recognize our loyal followers who accompany us on this health IT journey day in and day out.

Our Twitter Lists
There are more ways to create an informative Twitter account than by simply finding new and interesting people to follow. Did you know you can enhance your feed by subscribing to a few worthwhile Twitter Lists? Here are a few of our suggestions to get you started:

Our Twitter Friends’ Lists
Additionally, some of our favorite Twitter friends have put together some of their own interesting lists also.
