My 5 takes: 1. Hashtag chats encourage sharing on the one end while feeding curiosity on the other -- all serving to reinforce assumptions AND stimulate new revelations/trends on a given topic. 2. Today's #socialmedia discussion, while crazy fast and surely generating attention, made you think on your feet and go with your gut post. 3. Many peers are listening so chats force you to speak wisely, but with an open mind. 4. Chats rekindle conversations with old acquaintances and attract motivated, smart participants from which you can connect and expand your purview. 5. I?d say my early adopter network is biased re: overhearing it. They generally understand the options of ignoring it vs. jumping in when intrigued or eavesdropping later to scoop up the nuggets and re-share. You have my thumps-up on hashtag chat value ? thx for the discussion! - @carlainsf
