Personally I do not use Twitter
a lot if I am having a bad day or a song really hits home with me I might tweet
about it, therefore the idea of Twitter chat is completely foreign to me.
However, Guy Kawasaki explains the do’s and do not’s for us in chapter nine of
his book “The Art of Social Media.” A Twitter chat is a live event in which
people include a hashtag in their tweets to discuss a topic. The host of the
event will tweet a question and the audience members will reply with the same
hashtag to see the discussion. The biggest challenge the audience faces in a
Twitter chat is being able to think and type fast.
Our first tip is to use the
right tools. In a Twitter chat it is extremely important to include the short,
Evergreen hashtag in every response, using Tchat and Twubs will automatically
put the hashtag in your response. This not only makes it easier to follow the
discussion but also makes typing a little quicker. Furthermore, Kawasaki
advices the host to stay Q&A centered, in order for a Twitter chat to be
successful you want to answer as many questions as possible. Continuing on he
touches on things that most of us do frequently such as @mention your responses
and this just helps the recipient receive your response. In conclusion a
Twitter chat can be very useful in a business world if one can successfully
promote the chat.
