Tweet to raise Breast Cancer Awareness!

Now that I'm getting the hang of it, Twitter, and more specifically Tweeting is fun!  I still have a lot to learn, but I've been introduced to a wealth of resources I had no idea even existed.  Here are a few of the breast cancer community Tweeps (people who Tweet) I follow:

@Wigscom @pinkribbonprog @Breastcancerorg @cancerandcareer @FightPink @malebreastcancr @BCsurvivors @thepinkribbon @KomenCentValley @WRFTC @ArmyofWomen

There are also some great general cancer Tweeps sharing information and ideas:

@cancerandcareer @oncologyjournal @cure_magazine @NFCR @cancercures @goodprnews @CancerInfoHQ @ACSNews @SU2C @planetcancer

I've also learned about caregiving, clinical trials and patient empowerment by following:

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. Used sparingly and respectfully, hashtags can provide useful context and cues for recall, as well as increased utility for the track feature. Used excessively can cause annoyance, confusion or frustration, and may lead people to stop following you. It's best to use hashtags explicitly when they're going to add value, rather than on every word in an update. Here are some Hashtags I have used to find general and breast cancer related conversations:  #blamedrewscancer #breastcancer  

Enter "Breast Cancer" into the Twitter search and you are quickly immersed in a stream of Tweets.

Please help me grow the list by sharing your Tweeps!
