#ChSocM Chat Transcript: 5/21/13 | Joining Conversations

Despite Twitter glitches, we managed to chat about 

joining ongoing conversations and 

keeping social media social and civil.

The topics: 

T1: Do you & if so, how frequently do you jump into conversations already going on among folks on #chsocm?

T1a: If you join an ongoing conversation, how do you “jump in”?

T1b: What’s your best counsel about joining a conversation already in progress?

T2: How do the rules for joining a convo on social media differ from joining on during church social hour or at a party? 

T3: Assuming people of good will, what do you do when a convo starts getting derailed by tone/lack of civility?

T3a: What advice would you give to a newbie to #chsocm about joining in on conversations in progress?

This week's chat moderated with no shortage of frustration by Meredith Gould (@meredithgould)
