On Tuesday 10/19 we will talk about what to expect from tracking, how to track, how to respond to what the community is saying about you and share some examples of how it has succeeded and failed for others.

Many thanks to Warren Whitlock and his Amplify on “Top 10 Ways to Make Twitter Your Brand’s Best Friend” which you can read at this link.

If you have never joined up in a live chat in the Twitter stream it’s really simple. There are multiple tools to help you track and join the conversation and as sure as I mention a couple there will be people who tell you why the one they use is better – and it may well be! Personally I use TweetGrid (http://TweetGrid.com) and set the panels 1 high by 3 wide … you’ll see when you get there.

I set my left panel to monitor @TheKenCook, the center panel to monitor #TueThun and the right panel to monitor whatever else I am into that night …. #Yankees for example.

Very simple to use is TweetChat.com and follow #TueThun. If you don’t know about # hashtags you’ll learn quickly! You do need a Twitter account to join. They are free from http://Twitter.com and you’ll need to be logged in. It’s really about that simple. You really can’t mess up!
