I was very intrigued to see what would take place during the chat, as I have never participated in one. Also, this week's topic of #pinchat was linking one's Pinterest and blog, and incorporating them. This topic appealed to me, as I am new to blogging and have a Pinterest, and it would be cool to link the two.
The first ten or so minutes of the Twitter chat was spent with people introducing themselves if they were new to the weekly Twitter chat, and being welcomed by regulars. Then, the guest tweeter, @theblogmaven, introduced herself, and the regular moderator, @Tribe2point0, began the discussion.
Being new to Twitter chats in general, and especially having never participated in this one, I was unsure of the correct Twitter chat etiquette. So, I asked a question to @theblogmaven and @Tribe2point0. Unfortunately, my question was ignored. #Awkward.
Also, I did not receive a personal welcome shout-out tweet like other newcomers had received. #EvenMoreAwkward.
So, I chose to fit in with what I observed of the Twitter chat, and simply retweet some of @theblogmaven's words of wisdom that she shared with us, and in the end tweet again about how I found her blog.
The tips that she shared were useful, and I plan to start incorporating some of them in the near future, yet I am discouraged from participating in another Twitter chat, particularly this one.
If any of you wish to follow me on Twitter, my handle is @motherjenna, and no, I am not actually a mom.
Have you ever participated in a Twitter chat? If so, what was your experience? What kinds of Twitter chats do you recommend?
