Participating in a Twitter Party is fun and easy!
1. Go to www.twitter.com to sign up for a free Twitter account.
2. On the day of the event use tweetgrid.com, summize.com, or another tool to follow along and participate in the party.
For summize.com: go to the website and type the #hashtag in the search box. For instance #foodallergy
1. To read/follow along, just read the summize posts and refresh the page as necessary. (During the event you will see all posts/comments updated in summize.)
2. To comment during the party, you write your comment in twitter with the hashtag in your comment. The comment should then show up in summize.
3. To reply to a comment, you can click reply beneath that persons comment in summize and it will open twitter for you. You can then reply, but you must remember to add the hashtag if you want the response to show up in summize.
4. Parties move fast! To see responses directly to you, check your @ box in twitter.
For tweetgrid.com: you can comment, reply, and read all at once in tweetgrid and it even puts the hashtag in your comment for you.
