Objective:The phenomenal popularity of social networking sites has been used globally by medical professionals to boost professional associations and scientific developments. They have tremendous potential to forge professional liaisons, generate employment,upgrading skills and publicizing scientific achievements. We highlight the role of social networking mediums in influencing teaching, training and research in anaesthesiology.Background:The growth of social networking sites have been prompted by the limitations of previous facilities in terms of ease of data and interface sharing and the amalgamation of audio visual aids on common platforms in the newer facilities.Review:Contemporary social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr,Linkedn etc and their respective features based on anaesthesiology training or practice have been discussed. A host of advantages which these sites confer are also discussed. Likewise the potential pitfalls and drawbacks of these facilities have also been addressed.Conclusion:Social networking sites have immense potential for development of training and research in Anaesthesiology. However responsible and cautious utilization is advocated.

SummarySocial and traditional media are revolutionizing health care. Medicine, once an art practiced behind closed doors, is now part of the public domain. This article will help neurologists navigate a complex maze of technology to optimize patient care without compromising privacy. We offer ideas for improving our digital "footprint." Guidance is given on maintaining professional demeanor in all private and public interactions to help us avoid personal or patient insult and injury. Acknowledging that neurology is becoming a specialty of increased personal and social education, we outline ways to proactively improve our patient care and education locally and globally.T he expanding body of available information on neurologic issues, coupled with a populace seeking to remain well-informed, has created more opportunities for neurologists to educate the public. Patient care has expanded far beyond the office setting. Advocacy for our patients, their caregivers, and our colleagues remains one of our foremost responsibilities. Recognizing this, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has prepared hundreds of neurologists for more effective and informed advocacy through the Donald M. Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum (http://www.aan.com/go/advocacy/active/palf). A portion of this program trains advocates to interact with traditional and social media outlets, a critical element in both individual and collective advocacy.Neurologists have more opportunities than ever to make use of traditional media for education and advocacy. Web-based media is revolutionizing health care delivery. A wealth of neurologic information is available at an individual's fingertips courtesy of "Google medicine."
