Blogs/Websites

Twitter

Twitter is currently one of the best link and knowledge sharing tools on the web. It allows us to engage with people worldwide, and quickly share useful resources with others as well as ask and answer questions.

Cost: free.

Facebook

Facebook "Pages" are the current way that organizations and projects can build a public community on Facebook. For a more intimate setting, or a private audience, a Facebook "group" may be more appropriate. Facebook pages may not require as frequent updating as a Twitter profile, but content should be engaging, and ideally viewed within someone's news feed (videos and photos work great for this).

Cost: free

Video sharing

There are several video sharing sites on the web, the most popular of which is YouTube. eHealth Strategy Office maintains a channel on YouTube for videos related to all our projects. Nearly all videos produced by any project should be included on this channel. It would be a rare case in which any project would require a separate YouTube channel.

Cost: free.

Under development: Vimeo. Vimeo may need to be used due to lack of clarity around access to YouTube from China. Still testing it out.

Cost: $60/yr

Photosharing

Flickr is one of the oldest and largest photosharing platforms on the social web. As with YouTube, all public photos available from any eHealth Strategy Office project should be archived in our central photostream, unless a special case warrants having a separate photostream.

Cost: $25/yr.

Document/Presentation Sharing

There are a few services that offer the ability to embed and share Powerpoint presentations and other documents. Of these, Slideshare currently has the best community and most useful resources.

Cost: free
