#SocialCafe Chat Topic: Benefits of the Traditional #TwitterChat (and Reasons Why We Love Them)

View the announcement for this #SocialCafe Chat..

So much fun this evening, connecting with old friends (again) and newer friends, just like Traditional Twitter Chats have always been like... and that is what it is all about and why we are discussing them this evening :)

What do we mean by “Traditional #TwitterChat” do you think? How would YOU define it?

I love the answers we got to this question! You can really tell that these are people who know, love, and appreciate traditional Twitter Chats! Thank you peeps!

Traditional would be a series of q and a on the hashtag as we are doing here. At least that's how I've always done it.

Funny, I'm cleaning files on my laptop and have questions and answer from different chats for years now. #SocialCafe

A1 A conversation held on Twitter at a set time and day, each week or biweekly. The topic differs but is usually similar. #SocialCafe https://t.co/vgFeWtwxiW

Let’s pause for a moment... Who would you like to invite to this chat, to discuss #TwitterChats and what they mean to us (again)? Any friends or associates? :)

I think I need others to do the chatting for me, as Twitter was rate limiting me this evening...

I must "chat" too much!

Twitter is "rate limiting" me again.

Is anyone else getting that?#custserv #socialcafe

What other tips (or questions) do you have related to #TwitterChats?

There are things we love about these chats ;)

A3 love thinking outside the box with Twitter chats. Some quick ideas: Sponsorships, website or Twitter Space to enhance the chat, guest hosts, integrating with other social media channels to expand it past a weekly chat. #socialcafe

Jump in, the water is fine.

I like a good chat to share information, and for people to get to know me. Especially when building brand online, you want a level of trust that might be more difficult to establish when not in person. Consistency helps. A3#SocialCafe

What tools can help us when it comes to #TwitterChats?

TweetDeck seems to be one of the popular choices when it comes to tools. There were some other tools of choice in the past but with the API fee, those have opted out, due to cost increases.

LOL, I kick it old school. I've used Tweetdeck - but I'm more apt to have multiple tabs (or monitors) going. And FYI - when you are just on your phone - it can be hopping. A4 #SocialCafe

A4 would love to know the answer to this, especially how to follow multiple Twitter chats at once. I still use Tweetdeck, is there a better option now? #socialcafe

Final Thoughts and Action Steps

I love the community and camaraderie of Traditional Twitter Chats. That just cannot be replicated easily? Here is an example, and, thanks, Mack, for your kind words here >>

We have to talk to @elonmusk and get you taken care of, you need your Twitter chats! #socialcafe
