A few words about Tweetchats
Tweetchats are sessions conducted on Twitter using a particular hashtag and usually last about an hour. The host asks a series of questions, each marked with Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. to which participants respond in posts beginning with A1, A2, A3 and including the same hashtag so that everyone can keep up.

To amplify the conversation, the host, administrator and friends of the tweetchat, retweet posts. Frequently.

If you’re already on Twitter, simply login at the designated time, follow the requisite hashtag, and make sure you include the hashtag in your tweets if you want to join in.

How Tweetchats Fail
Tweetchats are not for everyone! Here is how they fail:

Tweetchats do not work if you do not use Twitter. Tweetchats do not work if you do not reply or retweet in real-time. Tweetchats do not work if you forget to include the hashtag. Leave the hashtag out of your post and your message is impossible to find.

Recommendations for Tweetchat Hosts
Announce the starting time of the chat with various timezones. You can create an event announcement using [|Time and Date] -- http://www.timeanddate.com Before the tweetchat begins, ask some of your Twitter friends to help retweet the questions and responses. After the tweetchat, curate the questions and responses using [|Storify] -- http://storify.com
