Many ophthalmologists question how they can best utilize Twitter as part of their LASIK web marketing strategy. TweetBeep, yet another third party twitter application, is a perfect tool for ophthalmologists looking to generate patients from Twitter.
TweetBeep – which is similar to Google alerts – sends you free twitter alerts via e-mail. You can set up TweetBeep to alert you anytime that a specific keyword or phrase is tweeted. It is a fantasitic tool for tracking site mentions, competitor mentions, generating leads, managing your reputation and more.
The best part of TweetBeep, is that you can include “places” in your search results. So, for example, you can set an alert for the keyword LASIK that is tweeted within 50 miles of Denver. Therefore, if somebody in Denver tweets that they are interested in getting LASIK, you will be notified. Then, you can send them a message on Twitter inviting them into your office.

I noticed that Ophthalmology Times is also having a symposia running concurrently with the meeting. Once course in particular looks interesting, but I will not be able to attend:
“The Future of Eyecare: How Connectivity Will Change the Ophthalmic Community”
