Dispensary Corner 30 May 14

We’ve talked about the power
of social media in Dispensary
Corner before and how, if your
pharmacy has an account, you
have to be careful you don’t get
a parody account (PD 07 Feb) or
how people are more likely to
report adverse events to Twitter
than to the Food and Drug
Administration (PD 06 May).
But if there’s ever been a time
to get onboard, it might just
be now - a mysterious man on
Twitter, going only by the handle
@HiddenCash, has reportedly
been dropping envelopes of
money around San Francisco and
leaving clues on Twitter, Sapa-AP
reported.
One such clue was that
followers should find Mr Franklin
along the crookedest street; a
US$100 bill was found at the
bottom of Lombard Street, a
tourist attraction known as the
‘Crookedest Street in the World’,
the publication reported.
What’s even nicer is the paper
reported several of the people
who found the cash are paying it
forward, buying clothes for family
members or pizza for co-workers.
Celebrities read mean tweets.
Speaking of the joys of Twitter,
if you haven’t yet seen Celebrities
Read Mean Tweets, do yourself
a favour and check it out during
your lunch break.
US chat show host Jimmy
Kimmel gets his celebrity guests
to read out mean tweets sent
to their accounts, with hilarious
results.
While the distance of
communication via the internet
results in some nasty comments,
some display a surprising amount
of creativity, such as James Van
Der Beek’s, “There’s a new show
where James Van Der Beek plays
James Van Der Beek, guys get
your backpacks and boots, this is
the apocalypse, I’m sure of it.”
It might not work the same
for your pharmacy account, but
maybe it’s worth a try?
