What is a Twitter chat?

A Twitter chat (or tweet chat) is an online discussion using twitter, so every post is a tweet. Because it's on Twitter, it’s open to everyone with a Twitter account. Anyone can participate, or just listen in to learn more about the topic.

Favorite:Clicking the star at the bottom of a tweet is often used as a bookmarking tool. Favorites keep Tweets that you find relevant, but have links to content that you’d rather read later.

Re-tweet: Retweet to spread the word. when you retweet, you are re-sending someone else’s tweet to all of your followers. They can then retweet it to their followers.

More: You can also share, copy, embed, pin, and delete a tweet!
