Resumen: Estamos presenciando la revolución de las redes sociales en Internet. La facilidad que las redes sociales nos ofrecen para comunicarnos y encontrar información es infinita. El ámbito de la salud no iba a ser menos y se engancha a esta revolución. En las principales redes sociales de la actualidad como son Facebook y Twitter podemos encontrar desde páginas Facebook de salud, a grupos de profesionales y/o usuarios, donde comparten información, conocimientos, experiencias, técnicas, etc., sin olvidar Twitter, ese microblogging que en apenas 140 caracteres te permite difundir gran cantidad de información, permitiendo que cualquier persona pueda opinar. Las redes sociales nos llevan a interaccionar y abrir debates sobre infinidad de temas. Y la presencia de revista científicas en estas redes sociales, abre y permite el acceso a la información a un público más elevado y más exigente en lo que se publica: exigencia de veracidad. La creación de redes sociales específicas por grupos de trabajo o de investigación, o por universidades, provoca una revolución en la enseñanza actual y la creación de conocimiento facilitándonos enormemente la facilidad la recogida de datos e información que estas redes sociales nos ofrecen.

On the main current social networks as Facebook and Twitter numerous resources can be found, from Facebook health-related pages professional to groups and /or users, where they share information, knowledge, experience, skills, etc...,without forgetting Twitter, the microblogging by means of which in just 140 characters you can disseminate large amounts of information, allowing anyone give their opinion. Social networks lead us to interact and open discussions on numerous topics. And the presence of scientific journals on these social networks opens and allows access to public information to a public more educated and more demanding about what is published: demand of veracity. The creation of social specific networks for groups of work or investigation, or for universities, provokes a revolution in current education and creation of knowledge making it easier to collect data and information that these social networks offer us.
