Why the #FOAMed Hashtag?

Every revolution needs focus…

A Global collaboration of healthcare professionals under a unifying banner of Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) needs a focus point – something people can follow, something people can relate to.

Unfortunately the FOAM hashtag is already being used by scantily clad party goers revelling in bubbles… so we are using the #FOAMed hashtag in conversations on Twitter and Google Plus. We followed the Symplur Healthcare Hashtag guidelines to list the #FOAMed hashtag and it is already in significant use.

Why use a Hashtag?

  • Identify supporters and advocates of the cause
  • Directly follow the conversation thread
  • Collate and curate conversation
  • Analyse trending topics and subjects within the #FOAMed network

How can you get involved?

#FOAMed Growth
