Twitter Chats

In the last two weeks I have participated in two different Twitter chats.  I found both of them VERY overwhelming but very beneficial.  I participated in #satchat and #mosnowchat.  I found they both had a lot of similarities in both of them.  I did find several new people to follow from both chats.

I found that both chats went very quickly.  I had a very hard time keeping up with all of the conversations going on.  I tried using tweet chat but my computer wasn't loading the comments.  I had to continuously hit refresh for that page to work.  I did however use TweetDeck for both chats.  That did help, but I still had to skip a lot of comments because I couldn't keep up.  I realized that I needed to focus on a few different people and went from there.  I found the questions offered were great and the responses were good as well.

I like how I got a lot of new/different perspectives on different things.  I also loved that I found myself saying "that is so true".  Just having that refresher of conversations you don't typically think about or have with others.  This brought different things that I need to refocus my energy and time on.

The biggest challenge I found was keeping up.  I tried Tweet Chat for both of them and my computer didn't like it either time.  I know over time it will get easier as I get use to it.
