I’m going to start with the acknowledgement that I’m not a blanket fan of Twitter hours. Some work, some don’t – the ones that do are the ones that everyone’s doing it for the right reason – to help each other.
A Twitter hour that has the same ‘old’ people, supporting the same ‘old’ people, is like a networking group that has…..the same ‘old’ people. The danger is that it becomes a clique and this makes it hard for new businesses to join us – I’ve seen some Twitter hours go this way.
That said, the premise behind it can be a force for good, so I wanted to take some time to explain to those of you who may be new to it, how to get the most out of it.
A Twitter hour is a set period of time (usually 60 minutes) where participating Tweeters will add a unified hashtag (#hashtag) to their Tweets in order to combine all of the Tweets into one conversation.
This means that Tweeters can both contribute and participate in the dialogue between those taking part.
