There’s a whole lot of chatting happening on Twitter. I participate in a few of the chats, and some I just try to follow. I say “try” because that’s what it is. If someone is participating in the chat and has a great comment, but forgets the chat hashtag, most people following the chat miss it. As I continue to join more chats, this particular problem becomes more frustrating. There has got to be a better way to do this. And I think I found it.
I have been thinking about starting a chat group for a while, but because of the issues stated above, I changed my mind. A few weeks ago, I joined Cliqset. (http://cliqset.com). I am still getting used to this new program, but have quickly learned how fabulous it is many things, including “chatting”. Here is what I l have earned:
- Cliqset is real time, so I can chat with people just like I would be if I were having a live conversation, no delay.
- My conversation flows in a stream on Cliqset and does not appear on Twitter.
- You get 200 characters per comment on Cliqset vs. the 140 in Twitter. And since you are following the conversation on Cliqset, you don’t need the hashtag, which saves even more characters.
I have to wonder, why wouldn’t everyone want to move their chat conversations to Cliqset? In order to participate in the chat, you would need to be registered on Cliqset. Not very difficult, and well worth it. You would have to be following the person holding the chat on Cliqset. Again, not very difficult and well worth it.
Social media is about engaging with others. And building a community is critical to the success of your business. Since the internet is every changing, new services are constantly evolving to help make tasks easier. Through the use of a service, like Cliqset, your community can start to form and become active, without you having to spend too much time on upkeep. The user-friendly features of this program will help you enhance your current social media program.
So now, I have decided to launch my #partychat. It’s the holiday season and we are all thinking about social events. What better way than to share our ideas through social media. I hope you agree, because this is your official invitation to follow me @eventperfect and join me on Cliqset for #partychat on Monday night at 8pm EST.
