What is a Twitter chat?

A Twitter chat is a group conversation on Twitter around a certain hashtag, within a certain time frame, led by one moderating account. Anyone can participate in a Twitter chat by answering questions from the moderator, talking with other participants, re-tweeting messages you like or simply following along. Follow #FoxPDchat every third Friday of the month from 12 - 1 p.m. ET to join our chat.

How do I join a Twitter chat?

You can also simply use Twitter.com for the chat. Enter #FoxPDchat in the search bar on the upper right, then choose "all" under "Results." You can then reply to tweets in the feed or compose a new tweet using the tweet button in the upper right hand corner. Be sure to include the hashtag so your tweets will stay in the stresm.
