Once again it’s time for some updates to the Pharma and Healthcare Social Media Wiki. For those not familiar with it, the wiki was created in an effort to catalog  every social media project that has been created by the pharma (or healthcare  in general) industry.

Think pharma and healthcare isn’t using social media? Guess again. We’re up to more than 400 listings now. Thanks to your contributions, it continues to grow. Without your contributions, the wiki wouldn’t be what it is today and it would quickly become outdated. You can submit your recommendations for inclusion (including your own site) and corrections/updates using this form. Please check to see if something is already included before submitting.

Just a few of the items added in today’s update:

*NEW HealthBoards — “provides a unique one-stop support group community offering over 150 message boards on various diseases, conditions, and health topics. The HealthBoards community is one of the largest and most dynamic on the Web, with over 400,000 registered members, and over 3 million messages posted.”

*NEW SoberCircle — “is a friendly and feature-rich online recovery community. It is a “home away from home” for people in recovery or those considering recovery, and their family and friends.”

*NEW SparkPeople — “This site really is free– with no strings attached. Over 5 million people have joined SparkPeople to lose weight and make healthy lifestyle changes. Major media outlets like Good Morning America, The Today Show, and People Magazine regularly feature successful SparkPeople members and talk about how this is a completely free site.” “Best Health Website” in 2006, 2007, and 2008 according to Business Week.

So, go and check out these and the rest of the listings on the Pharma and Healthcare Social Media Wiki.

Many of you have asked what you can do to support the wiki, as you’ve found it so useful. Well, there are a few things you can do since you asked:

• First and foremost, without your contributions, the wiki wouldn’t exist. You can submit your recommendations for inclusion (including your own site) using this form.
• Share with your network. Here are some shortcuts:  Send a tweet, update your LinkedIn or Facebook status, and/or whatever your preferred means of sharing is. You can just copy and paste this: “Pharma and Healthcare Social Media Wiki. http://su.pr/20M8CB. (via @jonmrich)”
• Write about it. Feel free to blog about the wiki and use some of the examples in case studies or presentations you’re developing.
• Get a badge. That’s right, if you’re listed on the wiki, you can now add a badge to your site to show that you’ve made it to the list. We’ve created a couple of options to choose from. Go here to find out how.
