@NYCPRGirls Twitter Chat

It has been on my to-do list for quite awhile to participate in a Twitter chat. I recap client chats for work, but I've never participated in one. If you're unfamiliar with Twitter chats, they are organized discussions that are hosted/moderated on a specific topic and encourage all participants to include a specific hashtag in their tweets, so all conversation is collected in the same feed.

When I saw that @nycprgirls would be hosting an hour-long chat last night, I jumped at the chance. For two years, A & M have been writing about life in the PR industry and in New York City. Both of those topics clearly relate to my life, making their blog one of my daily reads. During the chat, A & M answered questions from college students and current professionals, and participants chatted with one another. Twitter parties are great because they offer advice from diverse perspectives in real time. If you're interested in participating in a PR or social media chat, see this list. I couldn't help but share some of my favorite advice from last night:
