#BarkFriday Twitter Party: RTing During the Party

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

A couple of weeks ago I added to my archive of Twitter Party tips with a post on keeping up during a Twitter party. Things move very fast at a Twitter party and sometimes it is tough to know what you're supposed to be doing. My main point in that post was to remind you that watching your host (or the guest expert if you're following that conversation) will help you keep up with whatever you need to be doing, if anything.


My bad! Although that is great advice, I left out one very important tip, so today you get just one little piece of kibble that will help make your Twitter party experience more enjoyable. You and all your fellow party guests may want to RT important statements made by the host or anyone whose input affects the next step in the party, such as a sponsor.


For instance, if I suggest that a prize drawing is coming up and then ask a question, you may want to help everyone see that tweet by RTing it. If they do the same, it will help you too.


Those of you who were at #SafeHowlOween probably noticed at least one or two of these RTs. We had some experienced Twitter party guests who were doing their good deed, helping to get the hosts' tweets out to everyone.


The countdown to #BarkFriday has begun today with my intro to our guest expert. In upcoming posts you'll be meeting some of our sponsors here. Others will be profiled at Dogtipper, so keep your eyes on both blogs for news and info. Happy tails!
