Are you wondering what the Food and Drug Administration is thinking about drugs? Just follow them on Twitter. And if you don’t like reading 140 characters or fewer Tweets, check out the FDA on Facebook. Don’t like Facebook? No problem. You can always use LinkedIn to see what many of their employees are talking about.

It’s really quite heartening to see a federal agency as consumer-oriented as the FDA using social media platforms to communicate. In fact, virtually every federal agency that protects consumers benefits from social media as a communications tool. Check out the Federal Trade Commission (Facebook), the Securities and Exchange Commission (Twitter), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (LinkedIn), and even the White House (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).
