Twitter Hashtags for FDA-regulated Industries

Since we’re relatively new to Twitter, we just learned about a feature called hashtags: http://support.twitter.com/entries/49309-what-are-hashtags-symbols . The basic idea is that you type the # symbol before any word in your tweet, and that word becomes linked to other people’s tweets with the same word. Because they’re so flexible and anyone can make them, shared hashtags tend to grow organically when people from the same industry follow each other.  We wondered what our FDA-regulated industry hashtags were, so we did some research and here’s what we found on Jan 2, 2011.

Hashtags with good results:

#pharma
#biologics
#biosimilar
#biobetter
#clinicaltrials
#publichealth
#epidemiology
#ectd
#fda
