'''End-user community is a group of members of a social networking application (Winston, 2010). The group forms a community of practice that expresses itself by employing a common language and similar practices (Wenger 2000, Wenger et. al., 2002). This end user community (EUCY) follows the rules of an unspoken agreement to help ensure it remains well informed and successful. A member that does not follow the policies of the community will be blocked from effectively using the application.''' is

The end user of a Twitter application is a group of members. The group forms a community of practice that expresses itself by employing a common language and similar practices (Wenger 2000, Wenger et. al., 2002). This end user community (EUCY) follows the rules of an unspoken agreement to help ensure it remains well informed and successful. A member that does not follow the policies of the community will be blocked from effectively using the application.

The success of Twitter applications in forging e-patient relationships requires health care professionals to pay attention to distinct end user communities (EUCYs) that develop over time. Characteristics that help to identify a EUCY include: number of members, contact frequency and type of knowledge.
