For our upcoming Twitter party (November 12), you should follow the appropriate hashtag. We will be using #DiabetesChat.
For newbies: A hashtag is the words that follow the # sign, and if you put the party hashtag into your new Tweet Chat where it says “Hashtag to follow” you’ll be able to read everything everyone is saying at the party (it will automatically group together all the tweets so it is easier to follow and if you want to say something during the party (you’ll have to use less than 140 characters!), it will automatically put in the hashtag for you!).
