Technology has been a game-changer in the past 10 years, and you better believe it is transforming career development
by Chris Kulbaba9. Twitter chats
Twitter chats happen when a group of people all tweet about the same topic using a specific hashtag (#) that allows it to be followed by Twitter users. The chats take place at a specific time and often happen on a regular basis. I like to follow different conversations in Twitter using Hootsuite. Specifically, learning LinkedIn can be much easier if you are on the Twitter chat #linkedinchat that is hosted by Viveka Von Rosen each Tuesday from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm ET, or you can just follow the chat in your Hootsuite channel at any time convenient to you as the chat history is right at your fingertips. If you want to learn more, Hootsuite University can teach you all about using their tool, for free.
