Why You May Want to Twitter Chat

Want a fun way to learn and share travel tips? How about learn of travel deals? Better yet, have a chance to win great prizes! How?  Twitter chats!

Chats on Twitter are a fun way to feel connected with fellow travelers, share advice and stories about travel, hear about some great deals, and maybe be the recipient of a twitter chat prize. The odds of winning the offered prize during a twitter chat are very good as the number of participants is usually less than 100 and many times much less.

How do you “chat” on Twitter? Assuming you have a Twitter account (if not, get a free account!), simply search on a twitter hashtag listed below based on the day and time the chat is scheduled.  Search for the hashtag (#travelskills, for example) and watch the conversation on your screen. Post your responses to any of the questions appearing in the chat, or ask a question of your own (in the case of #TT / #TravelTuesday) especially. Or simply watch and learn. Though with the prizes offered in several of the chats listed here, you’ll want to submit an answer or two to be in the running for the prize.

Here are travel-related Twitter chats to participate in:
