TWITTER CHATS• TWITTER CHATS, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS TWEET CHATS, HAPPEN WHEN A

GROUP OF PEOPLE ALL TWEET ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC USING A SPECIFIC TAG (#) CALLED A HASHTAG THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE FOLLOWED ON TWITTER.

• CHATS ARE AT A SPECIFIC TIME AND OFTEN REPEAT WEEKLY OR BI-WEEKLY OR ARE ONLY AT ANNOUNCED TIMES.

• YOU CAN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE HASHTAG ON A TWEET TO SEE ALL OF THE RECENT TWEETS AROUND THAT HASHTAG. IF YOU TRY TO FOLLOW THE CHAT FROM YOUR OWN TIMELINE ON THE TWITTER WEB SITE YOU CAN, BUT IF IT’S A BIG CHAT YOU CAN QUICKLY LOSE THE THREAD OF THE CONVERSATION. WHEN FOLLOWING THE CHAT, CLICK ON THE “LIVE” BUTTON TO WATCH THE CHAT TAKING PLACE.

• WHEN YOU JOIN A CHAT, SPEND A MOMENT TO SCAN THE TWEETS USING THE TAG. IF THERE IS A HOST OR A FEATURED GUEST WHAT QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN POSTED? WHAT IS THE THEME OF THE CHAT?

• SHARE TWEETS FROM WITHIN THE CHAT WITH YOUR NETWORK, BY RE-TWEETING OR WITH COMMENTS, BUT DON’T FORGET TO USE THE HASHTAG SO PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW ALONG

• RE-TWEETING POSTS OF ANOTHER USER IN THE CHAT IS A COMMON WAY TO SUPPORT STATEMENTS FROM OTHER TWEETERS AND SHARE THEM WITH YOUR OWN NETWORKS

• IF YOU ASK A QUESTION OR RESPOND TO SOMEONE IN THE CHAT, USE THE HASHTAG SO EVERYONE CAN BE IN ON THE CONVERSATION

• IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE IN A TWEET TO SHARE THEIR POST AND COMMENT, GREAT, BUT IF THERE ISN’T YOU CAN RE-TWEET THEIR COMMENT INTACT AND THEN @MENTION THEM WITH YOUR FEEDBACK AND USE THE HASHTAG

• IT’S ACCEPTABLE TO SEND A PRIVATE TWEET TO SOMEONE IF IT IS OFF THE TOPIC OF THE CHAT, BUT TRY TO DO IT OUTSIDE OF THE HASHTAG SO IT DOESN’T END UP IN THE ARCHIVE OF THE CHAT

• IF YOU ASK A GUEST TO MODERATOR A QUESTION, PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC
