Twitter is a microblogging service where people answer the question "What are you doing?" via 140-character messages from their cellphone, laptop or desktop. You can select the messages you find useful, amusing, or both. Here is the 9th edition of My Twitter Favorites (the oldest post is at the bottom, the newest at the top):
Micro-blogging on Twitter is easy, fun and can be very useful and educational if you follow/subscribe to interesting people.

 | ruraldoctoring #SHM: I'm so cool--I'm hand-drawing vent flow graphics into PhotoStudio, a simple image-editor I got with my Canon flatbed scanner. | |
 | fredwilson First acupuncture session went well. The e-stim was a bit intense and the needle in my forehead felt funny. I liked it and will keep it up | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Learning about plateau pressures! I've always wanted to understand plateau pressures! | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: But I have discovered here that many hospitalists do NOT manage ICU patients--enough intensivists to take that out of their hands. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Surprised by some of the questions here. I was expecting to be the most ignorant person in the room. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Not that ventilator alarms should be a familiar sound, but they are. | |
 | AllergyNotes CPR study on rhythm/song: Reportedly “Another one bites the dust” has the same rhythm as “Staying alive” but conveys the wrong message... ... | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Not the world's greatest speaker, poor bloke. I know the RT is a good teacher. | |
| | ruraldoctoring Been talking to other hospitalists at this meeting. Note to my group: seeing up to 20 pts a day, including ventilated folks, not the norm. | |
| | fredwilson About to try acupuncture for the first time. Hoping it will be a good compliment to the PT I am doing for my shoulder | |
| | AllergyNotes You have to love the term the Twitter team pioneered for social network buddies -- "followers." It makes you sound almost prophetic. | |
| | AllergyNotes Easy and useful: Twitter can be used to take public notes and have you colleagues and followers comment on them in real time. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: "We don't think about [encephalitis] often enough." I do! Or at least I think I do. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: "Delirium: A Stress Test for the Brain." I like it. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Ah, the UCSF physician's demeanor. The brisk confidence, the articulate and slightly self-mocking humor. I'd forgotten. | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: Now talking about CA-MRSA pneumonia. Yes I've seen it, even in Rural. | |
 | sandnsurf Twittepathical interjection...we have many strange beasts and venomous creatures down under - but a neurohospitalist - woke me from my sleep | |
 | scanman @ruraldoctoring No such animal in the entire Indian subcontinent. May never have been seen outside the US :) | |
| | ruraldoctoring #SHM: We now move on to talk by "neurohospitalist" S. Andrew Jacobson. No such animal has ever been sighted in Rural. |
| | sandnsurf @AllergyNotes @ruraldoctoring - this is really exciting - I have watched cricket on teletext (UK) but livetweeting is the real deal | |
| | ruraldoctoring @AllergyNotes Yup, tweeting LIVE from the Grand Ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco. | |
| | ruraldoctoring Think I've passed my stress test--no chest pain. Near-syncope a few times, but no chest pain. | |
| | ruraldoctoring Finally arrived at SHM meeting after sweaty sprint up 16% grade San Francisco hills. |
