Directory of Healthcare Tweetchats

← Back to catalog

 

All we can say, is that this page is a Work in Progress; Tweetchats come and go, so please notify us if a Tweetchat either no longer exists, or if you have found another Healthcare Tweetchat at desertedbeach at hotmail dot com.

All a Tweet Chat is, is a bunch of people logged into the same screen, and one can post whatever is called for, i.e. a comment, another topic, a non-sequitir, etc.  Spammer occasionallly come, but you will learn how to deal with them.  Just go to a few, and watch, to see what is sometimes like a Free for all.  My first Tweetchat was a very busy one, the #HCSM (Health Care in Social Media), and it was so busy, it reminded me to trying to talk to someone, while running at full speed, alongside a fast train, and the person you are trying to talk to is in the window of the train!

To enter into a Tweetchat, simply go to the website,  www.TweetChat.com, and enter the hashtag address, like #HCSM
