I suggest using TweetChat.
Why
When you join a Twitter Party, you'll need to enter the given hashtag so the party can see what you say.
Going through Tweetchat adds the hashtag automatically for you, so you can just concentrate on tweeting and forget about the small details. It's easy!
TweetChat works through your Twitter account and is free.
How to get started
1. Open a twitter account.
Yep, the first thing you need to do is fire up a Twitter account.
2. Visit Tweetchat.com
This is what Tweetchat.com looks like.
#1. and #2. Enter the party hashtag you will be joining
#3. Select GO.
This is what the chat window looks like.
Here are a few settings that will make your experience more enjoyable.
#4. Select refresh speed on the lower left.
#5. Slide the lever to the left until it reads 'Refresh every 5 seconds'.
#6. Widen your text window by grabbing the lower right and pull down.
Now you are ready to chat!
