| You can now follow WorkCompEdge on Twitter! |
by Kory Wells, WorkCompEdge Blog Editor
Several years ago, Specific Software conducted a survey about favorite online sources of insurance and risk management news and information. The survey garnered some media attention in the industry and was useful to us internally as we developed marketing and publicity plans.
But that was a few years ago! With the growth of both content and “2.0″ applications on the web, we’ve decided it’s time to resurrect the survey, with a few new questions geared towards not just information, but how you stay connected with colleagues and clients.
Whether you’re an insurance or risk management professional or a business insurance consumer, please take our survey “How Do You Stay Informed and Connected?” now.
While I’m on the topic of staying connected, this is a good time to mention that you can now follow WorkCompEdge on Twitter. I’m trying to tweet at least once a day with some sort of information about workers comp, general insurance and risk management, general business or technology news, or news about Specific Software and SIGMA Actuarial that I hope others may find interesting.
You can use Twitter for free simply through the Twitter website - using your cell phone is optional. I’ve found that starting just by using the web interface is a good, low-impact way to try it out.
In general, the insurance industry doesn’t seem to be embracing social media as quickly as other industries. But numerous activities, such as the recent AMS Users’ Group Social Media Road Trip, Insurance Journal’s promotion of social media webinars, and consultant Rick Morgan’s blog entry “Insurance Agents Don’t Market,” suggests that we are on the cusp of change when it comes to how we connect with each other and our clients.
We’d love to hear your thoughts in our survey – and in the blog comments!
