Social Media's in the Hospital

This week I am writing my blog from the waiting room of KGH. No nothing life threatening has happened, just the ever-reliable idiocy of boys and their skateboards. But when presented with numerous empty hours of waiting and staring at a beige wall there really is nothing better to do then blog.

Now the tricky thing about this situation isn't finding the time to write, I’ve got plenty of that, it’s finding the inspiration. I'm sure most of you can imagine that the dim yellow halls of a hospital aren't really the best place to draw inspiration from. Especially when you’re writing about Social Media Marketing.

In today's world social media is king. It’s everywhere. In our homes, our workplaces and our schools. We all use it and some may even say a lot of us need it. And hospitals are no exception. You can follow KGH on Twitter, they even have a Facebook page. Hospitals are like any other business; using social media to boost their popularity, update their followers and stay a topic of conversation.

You would think that hospitals would have more important things to do (like saving lives) than updating their Facebook page and tweeting, but I’m sure there’s someone sitting in an office somewhere thinking up status updates.

This just proves, social media is everywhere.
