The possibilities of Twitter Chats


If I could be a moderator of any twitter chat, I would definitely choose a chat in which participants tweeted about new technology inventions. I would expect them to post links to probably CNN pages or other news stations where people in the chat could go and look at the inventions, then come back to the chat and comment on them. I think the chat would have exploded this week due to all the new apple product releases. I believe that the chat would be both educational and very funny! 

This twitter chat would give me advise on how to formulate my web page for my passion project. Seeing as the majority of people in this chat will have probably worked closely with software at some point in their life or at least be interested in it like I am, they would be a great resource base for me to pose questions too. 

I think twitter is a very effective form of communication because of the multidimensional forms of conversation that can occur and the number of people that can be reached, as well as influenced, by what is said. Since you can be present in twitter chats without actually participating, there is no way of knowing how many people are reading the tweets that go out on the hashtag. This reminds us that we need to be diligent with what we do and what we say online, because you never know who is listening.
