"If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself."
Spot the analogy...
http://leeaase.me/WhatIsTheInternetAnyway
When we don’t understand something, we instinctively look for analogies> “What...do you write to it, like mail?”> Humans always try to explain the unknown in
familiar categories > If you don’t create comfortable analogies your
stakeholders will invent scary ones> Good analogies
• can overcome prejudice and misperception• resonate with professional/organizational culture
and DNA
Analogies for Social Media Tools

computers> A multifunction pager that uses your cell phone> A river of serendipitous news> A messaging platform in which you can control
the flow
A Story from Twitter
Ensuing Conversation
To paraphrase JFK...
> Ask not the intended purpose of the tools> Ask how you can apply the tools to your
intentions> No one better at this than...
The Greatness of MacGyver
> He’s from Minnesota> Lack of resources wasn’t an insurmountable barrier
to getting the job done> He saw potential in everyday situations*

Key Elements

> Generally don’t “friend” patients> Remember the “front page” rule

the only standard for judging professionalism in social media
