Share on TwitterHow do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I use it to strengthen ties with the people who subscribe to and follow Mercola.com. It's interaction on a much more personal level.

Twitter or Facebook?
Both. Our health cause is supported well in Facebook and through microblogging.
What feature should Twitter add?
Keyword filter for the Home Feed would be nice .

Can't think of one at the moment..

Yes. I've come across a few spammers.

What inspires you to tweet?
Tweets get important health news across in no time. But more than speed, there's so much room for interaction.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
No, I believe. Everyone here seems "gluttonous" when it comes to fresh knowledge and information. Such nose for news!

Until the next health information - or big breaking news - comes up.

Yes. It has enabled me to further transcend barriers, with more and more on the grassroots now gaining access to vital health information.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
RT important breaking health news around the globe
How will the world change in the next year?
Have you noticed breaking news coming out in Twitter first, then in mainstream media next? The new wave of info revolution continues in 2010.
