helping people achieve goals with social media

[tweetmeme]If you are new to Twitter, you may have heard some people talking about a Tweetchat. You also probably thought to yourself, “Isn’t Twitter really already like a chat room?” Well yes and no. One big problem with Twitter is the difficulty in arranging groups around a single subject if you are not following everyone.

Hashtags were one user proposed solution to easily find other people posting about the same subject which led to more coordinated chats.  Then came Tweetchat which allowed everyone to enter a virtual room by following a hashtag, but the slickest part of Tweetchat was the addition of the hashtag of the room to every Tweet thereby keeping all the Tweets  visible in the stream.

For a quick visual description I created this slidedeck which may help a bit.  I may create a screencast of a Tweetchat soon too with some added tips.
