The Top 10 Posts of 2010 on Pixels & Pills

By Russ Ward (@russcward)

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for the Pharma and healthcare industries. We dove headfirst into social media, added the iPad to our list of mobile technologies, sharpened our multi-channel marketing strategies, and waited with bated breath for some guidance from the FDA.

A lot of our friends have already published their 2010 roundup posts, and this one is no different…except for the fact that I’m a numbers guy, and before I start rattling off all the significant news and developments of 2010, I wanted to check out our Google Analytics and see which issues mattered the most to you, our readers.

So here’s 2010 in Pharma and healthcare, through YOUR eyes:

Here are my thoughts:

• Although we have a “do now, apologize later” attitude towards social media, we’re keeping an eye on the FDA for their guidance
• We’re deeply interested in the latest software, gadgets, and programs that will greatly impact the healthcare community, whether by enhancing communication, or by improving medical care
• We have become braver, dipping our toes into new, less traditional, marketing strategies to reach our consumers

So what do you gather from all this?
