I can’t remember when it was when I stumbled upon Twitter chats. I’ve read about them on blogs on blogging, but they never tell you which website to go to for the chats. You see, I had always thoughts when people hold Twitter chats and Twitter parties, it meant a special online chatroom, IRC-style. It wasn’t.

So where the heck were this so-called Twitter chats?

One evening as I was checking Twitter on my phone, I noticed a lot of tweets on my timeline with the hashtag #bbloggers. Didn’t know what it was, and at that time, I didn’t really care. As time went on, I noticed that on certain days, there will be a long stream of tweets with that hashtag and people seemed to be chatting on specific topics, not just random ramblings. Light bulb moment.

So that’s where people were having these Twitter chats and parties. On Twitter itself! Not some special chatroom. Aww I didn’t feel so bad thinking I wasn’t included anymore 😛

Twitter chats are usually held at specific dates and times. There’s always a hashtag with any of the tweets related to the chats so that the tweets can be searched based on the hashtags. Most of the time, the host/moderator of the chats will have specific topics for anyone joining in the chats to discuss about. Other times when there aren’t any, anyone can ask questions about anything (usually blogging-related), and usually someone in the stream will respond. Anyone can join in the chats.

As for the topics, they can be about anything but I usually join the ones that are related to blogging. For example, photography tips for bloggers, networking tips, how to deal with negative comments and trolls, etc. There’s always something new to learn from other bloggers, no matter how long you’ve been blogging.
