What’s a Twitter chat?


A Twitter chat is a scheduled, organized topical conversation on the Twitter platform centralized around a specific hashtag. In every response during the Twitter chat, a designated hashtag is included. The chat isn’t only for answering the set questions but also to encourage, support, and assist others who are part of the chat. Tweet, reply, retweet. You can find the chat by searching for the hashtag at the scheduled time. Along with tips for the chat check out details on joining Twitter <https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=18858&qid=4405796> .
