It appears that finally the concept of social media has broken through the barriers of our profession and is now becoming commonplace. From blogging, to twitting, to being on Facebook, practices are realizing there is a whole different dimension outside their brick and mortar establishment. The tools social media provide us are tremendous, but they take time and efforts to master and use to the max.

What got you involved in social media and how are you using it?
