Last night was the second edition of #journchat, with chatter going on from 7pm CST up until nearly midnight (with the last few stragglers)
Key Topics
- What is the best way to track hashtags on Twitter?
- Tweet Grid - auto-updates in real-time, allows you to tweet, reply and retweet
- Tweet Deck - auto-updates, but not as quickly as Tweet Grid
- Twitter Search - tracks hashtags quickly, but requires users to refresh
- How does a micro-release (pitch in 140 characters) fit in with the traditional press release and the social media release (SMR)?
- How did #mumbai coverage on Twitter compare to mainstream news? Do you still use news outlets for information?
- What’s the best method for pitching a story?
- email, phone, in-person, Twitter
