Twitter Chat Tips

A Twitter chat is a scheduled, organized, topical conversation on Twitter
centralized around a specific hashtag. Here are some helpful tips to
participate:

   - Find the chat either by searching for the hashtag or going to the
@NFB_Voice
   profile <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=21169&qid=5310912>.
   - In every response during the Twitter chat, include the designated
   hashtag.
   - Include the question number in your response. For example, question
   one may be, "Q1: Introduce yourself." Start your reply with A1 to
   coordinate your answer to the corresponding question.
   - Engage with others in the chat. 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.

General Twitter Tips

The idea behind Twitter
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=21170&qid=5310912> is to very
concisely say what you are thinking or doing, in 280 characters or less.
When you sign up for Twitter, you’ll create a username or handle. This is
what people will associate with you along with the name you list. For
example, our National Federation of the Blind username is NFB_Voice. In
your profile, you’ll be able to add a little more information about
yourself such as a brief bio, your picture, and your location. When you
create a tweet, which is what posts are called on Twitter, it will be
listed under your profile. By placing the @ symbol in front of a username,
you can tag (mention) another user in your tweet.

   - A follower is someone who follows you on Twitter and sees your updates
   on their home feed; you can follow people back to see their tweets in your
   home feed.
   - Your home feed displays a stream of tweets from accounts you have
   chosen to follow on Twitter.
   - Retweet (RT) is a way for someone to share a tweet from another user’s
   account.
   - A hashtag is when you use the # symbol in front of any word or phrase
   to tag your tweets. When someone clicks that hashtag, they see your tweet
   along with everyone else’s tweets using that same exact term.
   - Be sure to turn on the feature to compose image descriptions, or
   alt-text, which can be found in settings. If you create a post with an
   image, a field will then populate to include the description.
   - If you are using Twitter on your iPhone or Android, the Twitter app is
   fairly accessible. On iOS, Twitterrific is another popular app that has
   taken accessibility very seriously. On your desktop computer, you can use
   Twitter by going to the website twitter.com. You can also choose to
   download a client called TWBlue. Because of Twitter’s decisions about what
   to allow outside apps to access, these clients are not always up-to-date
   with your direct messages, but they do provide an ad-free and
   easy-to-access way of reading and writing tweets.

We hope to see you on Twitter!
