The Basics
A tweet chat is when a group of Twitter users come to Twitter at the same time to discuss a topic. By adding a # (hashtag) to each post, the discussion can be easily grouped together and followed. A moderator will post questions, giving them a number (Q1, Q2, etc). Participants can answer each question using by including the number (A1, A2, etc). The chat typically lasts an hour. Let’s try an example:
Moderator posts: Q1: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? #icecreamrules
Participant 1 post: A1: Everyone knows chocolate is the best! #icecreamrules
Participant 2 post: A1: Chocolate chip cookie dough is the only flavor in this house! #icecreamrules
Moderator post: Q2: What toppings? #icecreamrules
Participant 2 post: A2: duh – sprinkles #icecreamrules
Participant 3 post: A2: late to the game here- chocolate fudge all the way #icecreamrules
Participant 1 post: A2: y’all are missing out – caramel all the way! #icecreamrules
