Twitter is a hub for influential people – including authorities on SEO, social media and online marketing. The difficult part is separating the valuable messages from self-promotion.
One way to cut through the noise and get to the good stuff is to find and participate in Twitter chats that are relevant to your industry.
Twitter chats use specific hashtags and a specific time period to hold a discussion, normally led by an organizer who posts questions to prompt answers from the community.
Twitter chats occur for almost any topic you can think of – in fact, there are so many that it’s often difficult to keep up.
That’s why we created our Ultimate List of marketing Twitter chats. Use this resource to connect with valuable marketing discussions on Twitter – and if you know of any chats we missed, be sure to let us know in the comments.
Want to make view Twitter chats easily? Here’s a list of resources to help you follow hashtags during chats. If you’re a Raven customer, you can also set up a Social Monitor search to follow a discussion or multiple hashtags on Twitter.

Here is another great list of Twitter chats that I reference pretty often – http://under30ceo.com/25-twitter-chats-every-entrepreneur-must-know/
It’s good to have more resources, thanks!
I have a list of about 30, a lot of which aren’t on here. Try http://www.highonseo.com/resources/twitterchats.xlsx
I’ll have to look through it, thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Jeremy,

Thanks:)

Glad to include you, I’ve started adding a note for who the founder of the chat was when available.
Great list! Looks like I’ll be doing much more chatting in 2013!
I love the open discussion format of twitter chats, glad that you’ve found more to participate in next year.
Thanks for featuring #SEOTalk. Honored to be amongst the other great Twitter Chats.
Of course, keep up the good discussions. I’ll see you next chat 🙂
Thanks!! Look forward to your participation.
twitter chat list..now that something useful.thank for sharing.
Glad you find it helpful!
Great list Jeremy! Some are obviously a bit defunct now, but I didn’t know about half of these (including a couple here that are certainly alive and well).
The charts are just 1 week’s worth of data, so it’s more for seeing how popular they are on different days of the week, so every chat listed has at least 200+ tweets per week. If you know of any more out there let me know!
Woops, I see that now!
Awesome
Ultimate List of Marketing Twitter Chats is a bit of a risky tongue twister when said out loud….
Or 10 times fast 🙂
Still better than rubber baby-buggy bumpers, that one always threw me.
nice article and thanks fro sharing.. there is now a much easier way to discover twitter chats. simply follow @TheChatDiary and it tweets twitter chat alerts to you. helping you to discover twitter chats and remind you of the times. so far 350+ twitter chats are alerted each week, but that number goes up each day as more are added..
cheers
Mark Shaw
