Deborah is also the host of the monthly #PlaywrightChat, the first Tuesday of the month, 1:00-2:00 pm ET.
Deborah has an excellent description of how Twitter chats work:
Treat this like a real conversation. Imagine that you’re at a party, or networking event. You’re here to make friends, find people to collaborate with, laugh, and learn. Answer questions, offer advice, share useful articles/videos/quotes/jokes, etc. After the chat, I encourage you to contact others directly. You’re also encouraged to follow the folks in the chat on Twitter so you can hear about theater when you’re not in the chat.
Twitter chats bounce back and forth (that’s part of their beauty), but they can be hard to read when the chat is over.
All weeks of #TMTweetChat are in sorted by hand into conversational order. You can find these recaps formatted as Twitter Moments.
As Moments are a roll of actual tweets, you can easily continue the conversation:
- Reply to ask questions or extend on a point.
- Retweet those answers and questions that speak to you.
There is no time limit, the conversation will never be closed.
Isn’t a Twitter chat much better than a Facebook group? An argument to be made in another post, perhaps.
