So you're invited to a Twitter Party! These things are fast and furious, but can be a ton of fun! But your experience can definitely be enhanced using the right program.

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

#6. Widen your text window by grabbing the lower right and pull down.

Now you are ready to chat!
