1. Sign in to Twubs or Tweet Chat
or Signup with Twitter if you don’t have an account. Our login securely authenticates you with Twitter. Once authenticated, you will be returned directly to one of the plat forms
2. Choose hashtag to follow.
Hashtags identify specific topics and those hashtags allow TweetChat to connect you with people talking about similar things. TweetChat helps put your blinders on to the Twitter-sphere while you monitor and chat about one topic. Choosing a hashtag directs you to a TweetChat room. Our Hashtag is #WIBN and we have a weekly twitter chat at 10 am PAC and 1 pm EST on Thursdays
3. Converse in real-time.
Each tweet automatically gets the hashtag added and the room auto-updates. You can use the “User Control” area to feature people you like or to block spammers. “Smart pausing” has been added so when you scroll down the page, it will not refresh, helping you avoid replying to the wrong person.
