How Do I Participate?
There are several ways...
@ProdMgmtTalkhttp://www.prodmgmttalk.com
Hashtag: #ProdMgmtTalk
Hashtags (keywords prepended with a “#”) demarcate tweets into searchable metadata - in the case of Twitter
conversations, they signify a rallying point for participants.

Search TwitterSearch Twitter (Search.Twitter.com) for #ProdMgmtTalk to view a
real-time chronological order of tweets demarcated as #ProdMgmtTalk
(be sure to include the # symbol).

Twitter ClientsFollowing a Twitter chat can be difficult to follow since regular tweets and tweets marked with a hashtag can be difficult to segregate in real-time.
Fortunately, there are third-party applications which streamline participation into a focused channel
@ProdMgmtTalkhttp://www.prodmgmttalk.com
TweetChatThird-party applications enhance the value
of Twitter. TweetChat (TweetChat.com) is an example of one such client. It displays only the tweets bearing the hashtag you wish it
to display, thus focusing your attention.

dashboard for a specific chat event and displays only the tweets bearing the hashtag you wish it
to display, thus focusing your attention.

The best way to learn how to use Twitter is to sign up to Twitter and simply follow along the hashtag during one of the chats. Most new users – even the skeptical - figure it out quickly.
