NTEN Water Cooler Social Media Chat 7/30

Your friendly neighborhood Socialfish will be "IN" the NTEN Office Hours Communications Chat Room every Thursday (that's today!!) at 3 pm EST. Got burning questions about social media strategy? Or just want to hang out and shoot the breeze and get a break from work? Now's your chance!

Last week, we discussed our YAP Bling! party for ASAE's Annual Meeting in Toronto along with other fun events in the works. And we have an announcement about this chat, which is that we'll be rolling off the NTEN schedule (now that we've been doing this for a full year!!) - they are looking at other ways of doing their "office hours", and we're ready for a change. Given that, we did discuss the pros and cons of doing chats on Twitter, as well as checked out other chat sites like TinyChat and Today's Meet. We talked about Twitcam which is a way to stream live video to Twitter; this also has a chat component. We'd also like to participate more in #assnchat, the Association Chat on Twitter (Tuesdays at 2 pm EST), even though it has the worst hashtag in history. Meanwhile back at the ranch, we will probably have our final chat the week before we go off to Toronto (August 13) - but never fear, by then we will have figured out other fun ways to keep the conversation flowing.

Whether the conversation is deep or just a nice break from the dullness of your daily routine, though, we're all about sharing. Pick our brains, we'll tell you our take on things. Click HERE for the chat room.
