Learning all the tools available in Social Media can be a challenge. I actually hired a tutor when I began my SoMe journey. It helped me get over my middle-aged resistance to learning new things. Now, I'm addicted to the pleasures, values, and camaraderie of Social Media. I've especially enjoyed participated in Tweet Chats, aka Twitter Parties.
I began with the granddaddy of them all, #blogchat, hosted and created by the wonderful and ever-so-gracious @MackCollier. Doing #blogchat as your first tweet chat is sort of like climbing Mt. Everest when you're in the mood for a nice hike. #Blogchat has had upwards of 5,000 tweets during its Sunday hour from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m., PST. For some perspective, 3,600 tweets would be one per second.
