Are you new to Twitter or haven’t participated in a live Twitter Chat before?

Don’t worry, becoming part of the conversation is easy! Twitter chat streams are best viewed without all the clutter. To optimize your experience, try installing either Hootsuite (www.hootsuite.com) or Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com). Both of these apps are free to install and an effective way to organize the Twitter conversations you want to follow.

Once you have your app running, follow our conversation by typing #AskTheCoach. The # symbol in front of the topic is known as a hash tag. A hash tag is simply a way for people to search for tweets that have a common topic. In order to participate in the discussion, you must enter the hash tag #AskTheCoach in all the messages you send. It is common practice for the hash tag to be placed at the end of a message.

If Hootsuite or Tweetdeck seem too overwhelming, try TweetChat (www.tweetchat.com). TweetChat helps block out the Twitter-sphere so you can monitor and chat about one topic just by choosing the hash tag you want to follow. Once you’ve entered the TweetChat “room,” you can concentrate on one conversation and—as an added bonus—TweetChat automatically enters the appropriate hash tag at the end of every message you send. Screen refresh speeds are also within your control and range from five to 60 seconds.

We look forward to chatting with you every Thursday at 4pm EST for #AskTheCoach. If you know someone else who might enjoy these chats, please invite them to join the conversation!
