How to Participate in a Twitter Party

What is a Twitter party? 

A twitter party is fun virtual online party on twitter.  Participants connect and discuss a specific topic that typically last 1-2 hours. Most twitter parties have a host an expert panelist to keep the party on topic.  Participants can win prizes.

How does a twitter party work? 

The host will announce the party’s with a specified Hashtag (#) for the party prior to the event.Hashtags are used to allow people to quickly search for tweets that share a common topic. You can follow the party using TweetDeck to help follow the fast pace of the tweets. This is a n excellent tutorial on how to set up TweetDeck. I also like to use Twubs to follow a hashtag.
