Tonight on Twitter, #runchat will make it’s debut courtesy of me and Scott from iRunnerBlog.
It’s work like this: beginning at 8 p.m. one of us will ask a running-related question using the hashtag #runchat. You answer; you re-tweet other people’s answers; you respond to other people’s answers. If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it’s really that simple. Earlier this week I discovered TweetChat, which makes following the conversations for the particular tag really easy. Just log in to that site with your Twitter account, put in the tag and boom — you can join in the conversation without even having to retype #runchat.
The #runchat will last from 8-9 p.m. ET. We’ll post a new question every 5-10 minutes, depending on the nature of the conversations going on. Please note that the official questions will come only from me (@RunningBecause) and Scott (@iRunnerBlog).
If you’re not familiar with how a chat works, there are a number of ways to do this. Use TweetChat as mentioned above; if you use TweetDeck or Hootsuite, create a new column with the #runchat tag to follow along; or if you use the web-based Twitter, create a new saved search with #runchat. No matter how you follow along, please use the hashtag in each of your posts so I can read all the responses. Some of your answers will be used in a follow-up blog within a few days.
If you have any questions about this, please leave them in the comments section below or ask me on Twitter before the chat gets under way.
