How To Follow Chats
You can search the hashtag directly on Twitter and follow or use a variety of formats that weed out all other tweets so you can focus on the chat topic. http://tweetchat.com/ - this one has always been my favorite, adds the hashtag for you, and the flow is pretty easy to follow http://twubs.com/ - this one adds the hashtag for you https://www.tweetdeck.com/ - have to add the hashtag yourself but is nice if you just want to follow the chat but not participate https://hootsuite.com/ |
