An easy way to be involved and stay in the conversation is to go to TweetChat dot com and login using your Twitter credentials. Apparently, this is safe to use. Mari does mention this site in her video above.
What Did I Learn?
I managed to make some new “friends” out of it and even had #savvysaturday (follow the conversation here!) show up in Twitscoop and eventually trending! Now that got me excited. (Excited like if your charts were trending in the Stock Market in order to apply some renting strategies).
If you are using Tweetdeck, you can watch Twitscoop in one of your columns if you so desire and it will also depict when a topic goes “hot.”
Twitscoop is the place to find “hot” topics that are being tweeted about on Twitter. I have an upcoming post on Tweetdeck for you so stay tuned.
Examples of trending topics at the moment would be President Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration in a couple of days. Watch Twitter for that one. My bet is that it will be running hot, hot, hot as it did while the US elections were taking place.
What I have described here is one way of starting a trend/conversation on Twitter for getting noticed. It’s something I wouldn’t personally use very often, however, you can see from this post that it could potentially become very viral and reach many tweeps with your message. I would caution you though as a friend that if you did it too often, you could really tick some people off and lose followers depending on your intention.
Have fun creating your own hashtags and I would love to know if you have previously done this or intend to do this. Comments are are always welcomed.
