New to Twitter Chats? No Problem!

Twitter Chat: “A public conversation on Twitter around one unique hashtag. This hashtag allows you to follow the discussion and participate in it. They are usually recurring and on specific topics to regularly connect people with these interests.” – Social Media Examiner

Are you new to participating in Chats? No problem! Homes.com has broken it down in 4 easy steps to help!

Chats are a great and easy way to hold conversations with other participants about a specific topic. For instance, the Homes.com monthly #HomeChats are all about home-related topics, like moving, gardening, organization, etc. Interested in joining the next #HomeChat, held every third Thursday each month? Here’s how!

Step 1: Check the Homes.com blog to see what the #HomeChat topic is for that month. Want to join? RSVP ahead of time to reserve your spot by submitting your information at the bottom of the blog post announcing each #HomeChat.
Step 2: Right before the chat starts, search for the hashtag in the search bar or on Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck is a free online platform where tweets automatically update. Instead of refreshing your browser every time a new tweet pops up, you can instantly see new tweets automatically!
