Twitter Chats

Every week I like to participate in interesting #HealthCare related #TwitterChats.

A big thanks to our friends @allchats for providing and extensive daily list of all #chats available.

Twitter Chat Help:


If you would like to participate more, or learn how to participate, here are some chat tips.

1) Chat Websites:

I like to use tchat.io to keep track of the chat while in progress. It's simple, go to: tchat.io > add the #hashtag of your chat and save the link.



2) Start Chatting:

Once the chat begins, the saved page will automatically show you all the tweets with the similar hashtag. Not only that, but if you login (top/right) using your twitter account, it will automatically add the #ChatTag for you while you communicate (See sample image for help).



2) Keeping Track:

The easiest way I keep track of my tweets, people who re-tweet or comment is by using CTRL+F and enter your name.

Your browser should automatically highlight your name for you.



3) Go back afterwards:

Re-read, Re-tweet, and favorite all twitter posts you feel worthy. Some chats go really fast and are hard to keep up with, others are nice and easy. You'll get the hang of it.

#HCLDR - Tweet Chat


#SpoonieChat is a nice chat community which allows those who suffer from Chronic Illnesses to share their stories, release some energy and get help from members alike. I'm a fan of this chat because there's less participants than other #HealthCare Twitter Chats, BUT it makes this chat more personal and easier to follow.

Date/Time: Wed @ 8-10:00pm ET
