#TechTipTuesday Tweetdeck, simplify your twitter chats

If you have ever participated in a Twitter chat session and not used Tweetdeck, then it's time to simplify and prepare yourself for the ultimate in Twitter chats.

A few simple steps and you'll be ready to go.

Step 1: Create a Twitter account, if you've already got one move on to step 2

Step 2: Go to http://tweetdeck.com

Step 3: Sign in with your Twitter account

Step 4: Set up your Columns to work FOR you.

Below you will see steps for creating a column to follow the hashtag #WGSDCHAT

Your Tweetdeck may look a bit different at first but in a few clicks you'll be on your way to Twitter 

Let's start by adding a column, locate the plus sign on the right hand column and click "add column"

You can add many types of columns, for this we will just do a Search type column, choose that then type in #wgsdchat then choose the option with the magnifying glass.

The column added will then show any tweet that has #WGSDCHAT in it.

Tune in every Thursday to participate in the chat, and now, like a champ.
