We are not alone: A guide to using social media.

The role of social media tools is rapidly expanding and radically changing the way we communicate with one another. The purpose of this guide is to provide people within the NIDA CTN with a basic understanding of social media and tips for navigation.

While there are many social media tools, this guide is limited to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and blogs. Whether you choose to engage in social media or only to watch from the sidelines, it is important to be aware of what is already happening. This guide provides descriptions of each medium, as well as practical examples from the CTN and beyond.
