What is a Twitter Chat?
​A Twitter Chat is a live public discussion on a specific topic that is held at a given date/time. The entire chat takes place on Twitter. 

How do you participate in a Twitter chat? 
1. Create a Twitter account

2. On the date/time of the Twitter Chat, open Twitter and search for the hashtag #shortbowelsyndrome  

​You can also do this by clicking on this link: twitter.com/hashtag/shortbowelsyndrome
​
3. Follow each numbered discussion question (Q1, Q2, etc.), see what people are saying, RT (retweet), "like," and respond with your own tweets

4. Begin each of your tweets with "A1, A2, A3, etc." to indicate that you are answering Question 1, Question 2, etc. For example, if Q1 (Question 1) was asking about how to find SBS support groups, then participants could respond with a tweet that begins with A1 and include an example of an SBS support group.

5. When sending a tweet, be sure to include the hashtag #shortbowelsyndrome 

Here's a brief snippet from a Twitter Chat
Q1 = Question 1
A1 = Answer 1
