Beth Offenbacker of Public Decisions just announced they will be hosting a weekly Twitter chat on public engagement, starting two weeks from now:
Starting on Tuesday, August 17, PublicDecisions will begin hosting a weekly Twitter chat from 18:00-19:00 Eastern (New York) / 22:00-23:00 GMT on topics related to public engagement. (Check your respective time zone at www.WorldTimeServer.com.)

Join us to share resources, ask questions, discuss current news, trends and issues (or even maybe rant a little bit if needed) about any aspect of public engagement. We may even have a special guest ‘tweeter’ on specific topics every once in a while!
By using a unique hashtag, Twitter chats allow conversations among larger groups of people on Twitter.
Just the other day I had a chance to join #localgovchat (website), a popular Twitter chat that covers open government-related issues at the local level. There were maybe 40 or so participants discussing questions around online surveys, and the quality of contributions was pretty good. Another one I like to listen in on occasionally is #lrnchat (website), for topics at the intersection of social media and learning.
The two things I’ve enjoyed about Twitter chats the most so far are the fact that there is a surprising level of focus and the opportunity to meet new people who work in the same niche.
For this upcoming Twitter chat on public engagement, the hashtag will be #P2chat. So get ready and join on August 17. Should be fun!
