“The Art of Social Media” and Twitter Chats


After reading “The Art of Social Media” this week, I discovered something I never knew about Twitter.  Twitter chats are a thing! If you are like me and do not use twitter often, then you may also be thinking “what is a Twitter chat?”.

So, after reading the book and exploring Twitter a little more, this is what I concluded about a Twitter Chat. A Twitter Chat is scheduled and hosted by company or individual.  In order to be part of the Twitter Chat, you must use the hashtag that was created for the chat. In the chat the host posts questions to lead the discussion.  These chats normally only last an hour and have less than ten questions during it.

So, if I were the host of a Twitter Chat about dogs, one of my tweets might look like this, “Q1.) What is keeping you from adopting a dog? #AdoptaDog”. Then someone could reply, “A1) Dogs from the pound can be viscous and you do not know what they have been through previously. #AdoptaDog”. People do not have to reply to every question, but can see all the questions and answers coming in.

Now that I understand Twitter Chats, I believe that more companies should be using and promoting them. I feel like this is a great way for companies to gain insight on new products or how people feel about the company in general. This is a great promotional tool that will hopefully become more popular in the future.

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

LOOKING BACK AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES CLASS

Last semester I was looking for a class to take to fill my credit hours. I had no idea that this class would teach me so much more than I had ever expected. My first week back in class, some of my classmates told me that Dr. Aggie’s class was fun, but challenging. Along with that, this is the one class that I need to read the textbook. Although this was somewhat intimidating to hear, I stuck with the course and now I am so happy that I did. Along with learning about social media and how to run it from a business standard, I met some awesome people along the way. Having such a small class meant that we all got to know each other well. Along with this, even when we went to remote learning our class sessions were still fun! I am going to miss making Tik Tok videos in class before we start lecture and learning about my classmates and professor. Even though blogging was my least favorite part of this class, I feel like I learned so much about blogging over these past 15 weeks. M...
