Last December I wrote a post on tracking Twitter chats. What’s happened since?
I’m yet to find a chat which hits my personal Venn diagram, so I tend to lurk and curate, rather than participate. Over on my CPD blog there are posts on #nsmnss chats (highlighted in the latest #nsmnss Storify) and on MyCMgr’s innovative combined Twitter chat and Google+ hangout – see Synchronised tweeting and Community management and startups.
Updates: Why every startup founder needs to be a community manager | What matters most Strawberryj.am, a nice little website which let you extract links from a Twitter account or hashtag, has just been spread on its last scone…it’s not the first handy tool I’ve used to vanish, and while there’s often another one just around [...]
Update, 14 August: a post-Olympics chat was held by #commschat on 13 August, highlighting some interesting findings by Opinium Research about the perception of brands (and government promises) before, during and after #london2012, plus Sociagility’s Olympics Tracker dashboard, measuring the social media activity around sponsoring brands. My Community Manager, a US community management resource in the social [...]
I’m updating myself in the broad ‘communities’ area as part of some background work for an upcoming job and have set up a communities Twitter list. Two hashtags keep popping up, so it’s time to take a closer look. #assnchat and #cmgrchat are hugely popular US based chats not best timed for me to participate. [...]
Since I’ve been on Twitter as well as tracking events I’ve been tracking several Twitter chats, usually flagged up by someone in my stream. Twitter chats can be defined as pre-organised times to tweet on pre-organised hashtags, and are a good way of expanding your network as well as honing your Twitter skills. A Twitter chat Google spreadsheet exists, [...]
#fredagsbog (#fridayreads in English speaking countries) is not so much a chat as a meme, with people sending a tweet about what they are reading. In Denmark it is efficiently managed by publisher Gyldendal, who send out prizes and run ISBN Bingo. The Danish version has had a lot of positive media coverage – an article in K Forum on [...]
#lgovsm Chat discussing social media in UK local government, details at @lgovsm. US equivalent is #localgovchat. It’s been a bit up and down – I tracked a couple of sessions in March, when it was held on Fridays at 1pm, but then it was in abeyance, or possibly moved to a private area (Yammer?) until October. It now [...]
Note: #tcchat closed with effect from 30 May 2012. #tcchat, aimed at technical communicators, was set up in September 2010 by @2morodocs. The chats are very well organised, with two sessions each Wednesday/Thursday to cover as many time zones as possible. The #tcchat tag is also used between chats for Q&A about techcomms (or #techcomms). [...]

The chat is managed by the modestly named Dutch organisation Weknowmore, who were commissioned to set up and manage the chat. The #kmers tag is used throughout the week for other tweets of interest. Key features: KMers.org site with details of [...]
