Healthy Online Content Gets a Push from RunKeeper
February 13, 2012 By Alicia Benjamin, Social Media Manager
In social media, you look to your peers to help you discover new, interesting content. In health, you look to friends and family to support and encourage you. Now the two worlds are colliding in a new way as RunKeeper, a fellow Boston start-up, introduces the Healthy button.
MeYou Health is excited to be one of their first partners in rolling out this new way to share healthy articles and online content, like the small healthy actions in Daily Challenge. You’ll also find the Healthy button on Well-Being Wire and right here on our blog, where you’ll find tips for living well.
When pushed, the Healthy button will share content straight to your RunKeeper fitness feed. In a way, it’s like hitting the Facebook like button on a news article or fun video you enjoyed. Only instead of being a recap of the popular Puppy Bowl, you’ll be sharing health-specific information to inspire and motivate others. (Not that the Puppy Bowl isn’t good for well-being... I mean, who can resist smiling when the puppies are that adorable?)
Not a RunKeeper user? No problem. You’ll be prompted to sign up the first time you hit the Healthy button in Daily Challenge, or wherever else you spot RunKeeper’s new Healthy button.
What are some of your favorite sites for discovering new health stories and articles?
