CDC Social Media Tools, Guidelines & Best Practices

"The use of social media tools is a powerful channel to reach target audiences with strategic, effective and user-centric health interventions. To assist in the planning, development and implementation of social media activities, the following guidelines have been developed to provide critical information on lessons learned, best practices, clearance information and security requirements. Although these guidelines have been developed for the use of these channels at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), they may be useful materials for other federal, state and local agencies as well as private organizations to reference when developing social media tools."

The site can be found here.

The site includes a Social Media Toolkit, a Guide to Writing for Social Media, and Twitter Guidelines and Best Practices, to name a few.

Thanks to Pauline Wallin for this information.
