Leadership in Industry Discussion via AgChat
#AgChat takes place on Twitter, a free social networking and microblogging service that enables users to send and read short messages known as “tweets.” Tweets are 140-character posts sent by each Twitter user to the author’s subscribers, or followers. Each Tuesday, members of the #AgChat community are invited to convene online 8-10 p.m., Eastern for a “streaming” Twitter feed. Chats begin with 15 minutes of networking (please introduce yourself and your interest in agriculture as well as your name, brief job description), followed by questions the community sends to the moderator in advance on the topic of the week. The chat is fast-paced, insightful and, often, colorful. The final 5 minutes is reserved for “pitching.” Participants can plug their blog, site, product or ask for feedback on a business-related idea.

4.) Begin by starting a tweet in the field located in the upper-right hand corner of the web page. Introduce yourself including your connection to agriculture and location.
5.) Always remember to include the hashtag #AgChat so other participants will see your tweets.
