Twitter Chats for Writers and Readers

I used Twitter quite a bit when I was managing a politics/etc. blog but I’ve slacked off majorly on the micro-blogging since I left that position. I’m still familiar with the basics- the hashtags, the Tweetdeck, the tinyurls- but I wasn’t aware of certain aspects of the blue bird service. Namely, Twitter Chats.

It seems as though Twitter would be a chaotic format in which to stage a chat but so is any chat software if there are enough people involved. Via Booklife Now, I came across a blog post at The High Spot Inc. that provides the schedules for writing/reading related Twitter Chats. I’m going to check out the #followreader chat tomorrow between 4 and 5 pm (EST) and maybe the #writechat on Sunday from 12 to 3 pm (PST).
