Twitter chats (AKA Tweet Chats) are simply a group discussion that takes place on Twitter. Sometimes the questions are selected in advance by a moderator, who poses 3 or 4 questions to the group or to the guest being interviewed. It’s likely you’ll want to get to know them better and strike up a conversation.

The idea of meditating together with 10,000 people around the world is powerful, and I’ve struck up several conversations around these notifications on Twitter. This particular app also has a community aspect, where people can share their own insights and joining groups around their areas of interest. The naysayers.

Hangouts can be clunky for new users and 10 people in the hangout at once generally too many to have a deep conversation. Switching between users allows only one person to be seen at once in the broadcast, so you lose some of the responses from others in the group. I’m not going to even try to do a tutorial on this one yet.

At the end of the process he discovered that rather than a shapely bell curve, he had several clusters of information showing that Americans liked their sauce in 3 main groups; plain, spicy and chunky. The consumers taste tested and rated the sauces. Not only was this news to Prego, it was news to the entire industry.

Hateful responses may be used to recruit others who are on the sidelines to come forth and add to the hate groups’ power. We are going to have to spend more time listening, having open conversations about what is wrong in America (and around the world) to understand how to make it better. It’s a win for hate.

The conversations among participants were a catalyst as much as the sessions. Instead, after almost every session the participants broke out into small groups to discuss the topic of the panel and how we could apply it to our own businesses. I had so many wonderful conversations, and so many tips scrawled in my journal.

This data is based on surveys, but in my experience working with millennials they are a diverse group and generalizations don’t always fit. Of course older generations like Boomers have also adopted technology and social media to research before buying and that age group holds 3/4 of the nation’s wealth. Tweet this.

The one indisputable thing I can say about community managers is; they’re a diverse group. Some are great conversation wranglers, s**t-disturbers even. Many have a passion for the topic of conversation central to the brand they manage. Some are analytical thinkers and know how to extract ROI from a stone.

most cases brands are more interested in cost-per-click and cost-per-lead or cost-per-conversion metrics or developing discussion on their page, so these are the metrics you need to be able to generate. A virtual focus group for product development? You own your website and no-one can direct how you carry on conversations there.

Twitter chats, sometimes known as a Twitter party or a tweet chat, happen when a group of people all tweet about the same topic using a specific tag (#) called a hashtag that allows it to be followed on Twitter. Often they will assign a moderator to welcome participants, ask questions and generally keep the conversation on track.

The new communities effectively replace the old Google groups, Facebook groups, maybe even Facebook Pages and offer a lot of features we like about all of them. Conversations tend to be casual often focus on the sharing of jokes and gossip, movies and social gaming. Different Demographic. A very different demographic indeed.

According to Altimeter Group’s Jeremiah Owyang , social CRM will give businesses a way to really focus on listening to what their customers want and still have time to do business. For me this gets interesting because it takes it to the individual or small business level.

You want to join into the conversation, not drive it. You have time to actively engage with the speakers, join breakout groups and workshops or just join us all for evening events and a morning power-walk. Which posts really resonate with them and which fall flat? Ask questions to learn more about what they want. Pretty cool huh?

Think small, tightly knit trade communities or Facebook groups for example.). Whatever stimulates the most conversation gets the most attention and brings in more money in ads. The communities that pull that off often have a face to face component so when we post in the community we know the real person on the other side of the screen.

I’m a lot more likely to write about your product if I already know you and we’ve been in conversation already. Having a natural conversation among friends is a good way to share your latest information and you may find more than one in the group who will help get the word out. Read their blog!

I say it wherever I go, whether speaking to a large group or coaching my clients one on one. Creating conversation. Listening is the most important part of any social media strategy. For those that do see the value there’s still a problem, and that’s HOW to listen. That has more value than the company responding.

Listen to what other people in your niche are saying and support or respond to it on their blogs, Facebook pages, Linkedin groups, Twitter and forums. That in turn leads to deeper conversations that are actually interesting to you and your network. You’ve got opinions, everybody does. Share them and share links. Keep it simple.

People are constantly dissing this particular network even though it really has more intelligent conversation going on than many other networks. Twitter chats help contextualize Tweet conversations, but even they fade away away afterwards and everything is discovered out of context. you’ve got a better conversation.

It’s also very useful to archive your conversations in case something happens. Basically circles are groups of people you are connected to and you create circles that relate to your relationship with the friends you add to it. Some may be friends, groups around your business, a hobby or people you want to get to know better.

The one thing I learned about social media this year is something I’ve been learning for several years, it just gets more crystallized with each passing day: Social media is about conversation, engagement and community. The big learning for this is the lesson that that ‘Its not social if it is not a conversation”. Melanie Notkin.
