A common misconception about social media is that it is difficult to understand and use. The ACR is currently using some of the most popular social media outlets, and with a little practice, you can too.

The ACR on Facebook

Facebook is used by millions of people to keep up with friends, upload photos, and share links and videos.

We invite you to send your favorite photos from the annual meeting and ACR events throughout the year, and we will share your fond memories with ACR’s Facebook community.

The ACR on Flickr

Flickr is an online photo management and sharing application—and a fun way to stay in the loop and feel like you are part of the action.

Our cameras will be rolling during the annual meeting and we are sure to capture exciting and thought-provoking moments—starring you.

The ACR on Twitter

An official ACR Twitter account was unveiled in June in conjunction with opening of advanced registration and housing for the annual meeting and joins the existing ACR social media initiatives. Twitter allows users to post short updates or Web links (no more than 140 characters) for their followers. If you are not already using Twitter, you can join by visiting www.twitter.com and clicking “Sign Up.” You only need to enter your desired username, real name, and an optional 160-character bio to get started.

User communities on Twitter share links to interesting content, keep in touch with old friends and colleagues, and form new relationships—both virtual and face to face. Meeting attendees can find ACR news and updates on Twitter before, during, and after the annual meeting. Follow the ACR on Twitter by visiting www.twitter.com/ACRheum.
