Reaching out – Tweet Chat

This is an idea I’ve been kicking around for a couple of months. It’s time to make it happen.

Tweet Chat for massage therapists

Using twitter, we can have a free flowing, realtime chat with one another. The first TweetChat will be this Sunday, July 24th at 10PM ET/7PM PT. All you need is a twitter account (what do you mean, you don’t have a twitter account?).

I’ll be using the hashtag #massagechat.

How to participate in #massagechat

First, you’ll need a twitter account. They’re free and I know over a hundred of you are already following me on twitter.

Second, click on the tweetchat link. Follow the directions. Basically, you’ll login to twitter via the tweetchat website.

At the top of the tweetchat page, type in massagechat. It will take care of the hashtag (the # sign) for you.

When you want to post, simply type in your message. You do NOT need to add #massagechat when you are using tweetchat because it’s done automatically for you.

If you want to use twitter for this (I don’t recommend it), you’ll need to do a search on #massagechat and add the hashtag to your tweets.

Keeping track of when someone replies or mentions you

In a separate browser tab, open up your twitter home page and then open up the tab that says @Mentions. Whenever anyone replies to your tweet or mentions you, it will display here. Chats can get a little fast, so this is a handy way of keeping track of when someone is talking directly to you.

Come and join us. This is going to be fun.

Leave a comment below with your twitter name. Mine is kelliawise. See you Sunday.
