TweetChat Platforms

There are a variety of tools that you can use to participate in a tweet chat. Here are the more popular options; we have sorted them based on technology comfort level:

Beginners

The easiest way to participate is to log into your Twitter account, enter #AskEoC into the search at the top of the page and it will display the #AskEoC Twitter conversation. From here, hover over the tweet for tools to reply, retweet (RT) or favorite. As new tweets arrive, you’ll see an alert at the top center of the page, just click it to refresh the page. To send an original tweet of your own, just click on the blue pen in the menu bar on the upper right hand corner. Be sure to add the hashtag #AskEoC to your tweet.

Novice

TweetChat at http://tweetchat.com/room/AskEoC. You’ll be asked to enter your Twitter account username and password, followed by granting your permission for Tweetchat to pull in your tweets (authorize app). Doing so allows you to not only see the conversation thread but to also participate in it.

TweetChat offers its users the benefit of:

Tweeting to the chat without having to type the hashtag (“#AskEoC” will automatically be inserted into your tweet for you – ensuring that your tweet is included in the conversation)
Refreshing your screen with new tweets (You can adjust your refresh speed – 5 seconds is the minimum available)
Filtering out retweets so that you may remove clutter from your twitter feed.

Experts

If your comfortable with Tweet Grid, TweetDeck, Hootsuite or any of your preferred tools, you can certainly use them to follow and participate in the conversation. Just be sure you remember to add “#AskEoC” to your tweets.

As with all Twitter Chats, anyone on Twitter will be able to see your posts whether they are attending the session or not. Take a look at the Tips and Etiquette that provide the structure for our #AskEoC.

#AskEoC Tips

We’ve learned from others who host these kinds of events regularly and have collected the following tips to help make the experience a good one.

Before the #AskEoC

Inform your twitter followers that you will be participating in a Tweet Chat before the #AskEoC begins and that you’ll be tweeting a lot for the next hour. It is also helpful to invite them to attend. Here’s an example: “For the next hour I’ll be chatting about (insert chat topic) on #AskEoC with others in the Business Community. Join us! (insert details – date/time here)”.
If your tweets post to your Facebook, you may want to disable the application before the chat so that your tweets do not overwhelm your follower’s newsfeed. If you choose not to disable this application, please begin every response/comment with “@response” and it will not post to your Facebook.
Learn the tools and Twitter Chat platform before #AskEoC starts.

During the #AskEoC

Join our #AskEoC as soon as you feel comfortable. We are here to learn and grow from one another, so please say hi so we can welcome you to the discussion.
Feel free to connect with our tweet chat moderator before or after the chat if you have questions. The tweet chat moderator will introduce themselves at the beginning of the chat and will be responsible for welcoming new chat members, keeping the discussion focused, and summarizing key points of the discussion.
Don’t try to read every single tweet within the chat. Tweets can often flow by fast so just skim them as things go by and respond to those that peak your interest.
Don’t worry at all about spelling or punctuation.
Everything you write during the chat will go to ALL your Twitter followers (whether they participate in the chat or not) unless you send a direct message to someone.
Stay on topic as best as you can. If there is another topic you would like to delve deeper into, please email Kathy at Kathy@CompanyofExperts.net with the topic of interest and we will work to add it to our #AskEoC schedule.
It is NOT vital you answer all questions.
Listen. Reading the tweets of others and considering them is ‘listening’.
When typing a tweet, try to keep thoughts as complete as you can so followers outside the chat can learn from you.
Re-tweeting the posts of another user in the chat is a common way to support statements from other tweeter and share them with your own network.
It is acceptable to send a private tweet (direct message) to someone, but try to do it outside of the hashtag so that it doesn’t end up in the chat’s archive.
The #AskEoC is not a tweet chat stream to market your own products or services.
Remember to add “#AskEoC” to the end of each tweet unless you are using “TweetChat” for TweetChat will insert it into your tweet automatically.

After the #AskEoC

Take time to review the conversation and questions after the #AskEoC has concluded. You can reap the greatest benefit of participation in tweet chats with the conversation you have between the scheduled #AskEoC.
Feel free to share tweets from within the chat with your network (i.e. re-tweeting or commenting on the subject), but don’t forget to include #AskEoC so that your followers can follow along.

Each session is captured & posted on this website shortly after each session so you can come scan to review anytime

#AskEoC Etiquette

Introduce yourself, location, your favorite topic or focus and what brought you to #AskEoC.
Stay on topic as best you can. A new question will be asked every 10-15 minutes.
When responding to a question, try to remember to include the number e.g., Q1, Q2, etc.
Write/tweet in complete thoughts, it helps others track along the conversation.
If you aren’t using Tweetchat which automatically includes the hashtag, then you’ll need to add it in order for your tweet to show up in the conversation. The hashtag is key. If your tweet doesn’t show up in the conversation this is usually the reason. Remember the hashtag for our chat it: #AskEoC (lower case also works)
Every now and then retweet (RT) the question to help us stay focused. Besides it helps those outside our conversation to follow along and contribute.
Just like in Kindergarten. Be nice. We can disagree without being disagreeable.
At the end of the session, re-introduce yourself and include any links or requests.
