#Editorchat was an interesting experience Maria. I lurked tonight. I learned some things, but mostly I feel out of breath and like my eyes have crossed.

Lots of firsts today. I downloaded Tweetdeck, found the refresh button, conversation button… and, observed an impressive lineup of editors.

Thanks for letting us know about editorchat. There is so much I need to learn.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I’ll be there.

If you have TweetDeck you can follow these chats, too. Just do a search for #editorchat and it will add a column just for those tweets.

And yes, all tweets and @replies sent with that hashtag go out to all your followers. One of the problems with these “chats” is if you are actively participating, it can get a bit confusing to your other followers (and downright annoying if you’re tweeting out a lot of “yeah me too’s”).

Open offer: If any of you has trouble or questions tonight during the chat you can send me an @reply on Twitter, where I post as @milehighfool. I promise to try to help. Before then, you can send me email at tbeyers@gmail.com.

Thank, Maria. I found it. But there is no “follow” button. So I just refresh the screen to read who is saying what?

Just checked out the past discussions. It is a manic kind of communication, that is for sure.

Which handle (is that the word) do you use Maria?

I’m going to try and come tonight. There were some negatives listed about TweetGrid, what about TweetChat? Do I need it?

That time doesn’t work for me. Ever think of doing any during the day?

@Lhotseface, I just did the search and it worked for me. Go to the “search” function at the bottom of the Twitter homepage and type in #editorchat (make sure you use the hashtag). It should work.
