Last month during the 1st TwitCast, we talked about “What’s the use of Twitter?” Including the following topics/conversations:

What is Twitter

What are Hashtags

How to use Summize.com

How Twemes.com can be used

Is Twitter really “more than just chat”?

Can Twitter really useful for business?

& so much more as the community got involved

We had such great participation from the Twitterverse, which made the 1st ever TwitCast a huge success!

Adam Des Autels & Roger Bauer took it to the next level, as Adam helped to reply back to questions and comments as he tracked the conversation on Twemes & then Roger created a great video after it was over explaining the apps we talked about so that you, the Twitter user could make use of the services for your business or personal use on Twitter.

Warren & I (CoachDeb) have a solid belief about the Twitter Handbook. And that is:

The community involvement is what will make the Twitter Handbook a far better published book than if he and I were to sit down and start typing on our own.

Ever since we each joined Twitter – we’ve both learned everything about Twitter – by using it and interacting with the community filled with brilliant minds and wonderful souls – all willing and eager to participate and help one another out – either in sharing the best resources, or by teaching one another whatever they need to know.

This week – we come together again – to talk about Twitter, what it is, and what types of Twitter apps there are that you can start using to enhance your Twitter experience.

We’ll be meeting slightly later than last time in order to accommodate those requests from the West Coast, and down under who couldn’t join us to participate.

Here’s a recap of how to use Hashtags & twemes which will be important once we begin the conversation announcing the hashtag we’ll use for this chapter of the Twitter Handbook.

Thank you Roger Bauer for creating a great video recap of the TwitCast held last month.

Why Use Twitter?

(In Twitspeak, that would be: ‘Y ewes Twitter’ (as suggested by @DavidCarter)

This is the discussion we’ll be having this Friday night!

Join us for the 1st ever Friday night TwitCast with @WarrenWhitlock & @CoachDeb as they battle it out with the Twitterverse to discuss, “What’s the use of Twitter?”

Ok, Ok, Ok, so now you’re asking, “What the heck is a TwitCast?” (Am I right? grinning)

A TwitCast is where 2 or more people get together to discuss a topic on Twitter and broadcast this conversation to the world using Twitter.com inviting their followers to contribute to the discussion.

What is the future use of this TwitCast?

I’m glad you asked!

Warren Whitlock will be writing the Twitter Handbook with Deborah Micek (AKA: @CoachDeb) using this brand new TwitCast method this Friday nite, 7pm ET.

Compare your time zone in your part of the Twitterverse:

That is the question of the day – isn’t it?

You’ve been hearing all this chatter about Twitter, perhaps you’ve even signed up – but then you’re asking – “Now What?!” Right?! LOL (Comon – admit it – even if you’re a Twitteratti by now, at one point, we all asked that question – right?)

When I started actively tweeting (that’s what they call it when you post on Twitter) I started describing Twitter by saying, “It’s like having a party in your pocket!”

But since my non-tweetin’ partner kept laughing at me when I said that – how about I leave the question up for my Tweeps (Twitter people / peeps = Tweeps) to answer the all important question of the day:

What is Twitter?

Please share your answer in the comments below in 140 characters (give or take) for possible inclusion in the 1st published book on Twitter: Twitter Handook.
