Hi Tommy:
Thanks for stopping by. There are some great daily chats I recommend that I have personally participated in and found great value in. Some are during lunch time, which increases my chances of participating. It’s always a challenge trying to schedule these chats into your life because I’m often very busy at work, and now I co-moderate with @bethharte a Wednesday night chat called #IMCChat that focuses on integrated marketing communications (my background). Would be nice if you checked it out. Sometimes I have to moderate/attend these chats with screaming kids in the background (thank God it’s on-line, ha).

Here are the ones I’ve attended and find have great value; some are worth the time at night (if you can sneak away or multi-task). There are so many, but these are pretty good. Go on Twitter and check out the hashtags: #journchat (Monday nights 8-10PM EST), #smchat (Wednesday’s noon), #pr20chat (Tuesday nights 8PM EST), #blogchat (Sunday nights 8 or 9 PM EST), #IMCChat (Wednesday nights 8:00 PM), #sm44 (formerly #socialmedia but now they number their sessions and I think they are on 44, you can search Twitter to confirm), #kaizenblog (Friday’s at noon).

The chats on Twitter are excellent, and you network with like minds and learn from each other.

Hope to see you at an upcoming one.
Anna

Hi Anna,

Do you know of any useful chats that take place during typical working hours? I, too, have family commitments in the evenings. As a result, I miss most of these scheduled activities.

BTW, found your blog via a comment on Kyle Flaherty’s blog. Social media does it again…

Best Regards,

Hi Ian:
Happy New Year! You nailed it actually. The chats are the core of Twitter in my opinion. I participate in #smchat #journchat #pr20chat #blogchat and a social media chat that gets numbered every week. I don’t know which one they are on but look up #sm40 (the last one I attended couple weeks ago). Myself and @bethharte are heading a brand new one called #imcchat about integrated marketing communications starting next Wednesday 1/13 at 8:00 PM. All the above chats focus on marketing, blogging and social media. Interaction is with very smart folks who are living the above topics every day. Please feel free to email me at anna at annabarcelos.me with any further questions.

Anna-

Great post. Twitter chats are a hidden gem for building relationships, in my opinion. But the problem is, they’re largely, well, hidden! Besides that Google spreadsheet that’s going around listing the chats, do you know of any other resource for finding chats in one’s sphere of influence?
