What is #PinChat?

#PinChat, Pinterest Chat, is a weekly Twitter chat, every Wed 9:00 PM EST to discuss all things Pinterest: latest info for brands, discuss best practices, new uses, personal/professional use and tools for Pinterest.

What do we talk about?

Each week we discuss a different topic or have a featured guest. We highlight best practices, brand usage, trends, marketing, market research, and news. If you are just getting started with Pinterest and want to learn the basics or are a Pinning pro, #PinChat is a great place to learn with other Pinterest enthusiasts.

What is the format of #PinChat?

#PinChat usually has a featured guest, with a moderated Q & A by me. All #PinChatters are encouraged to share their insights and questions throughout the chat.

We also have topic chats with a Q & A for all.

How can you participate in #PinChat?

To participate in #PinChat, I encourage you to use Tweetchat, it makes it incredibly easy to manage the high volume of posts. Tweetchat will also automatically insert the #PinChat hashtag to the end of your tweets. You can also use Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, or Twitter. To use Tweetdeck and Hootsuite create a column and search for #PinChat.

On Twitter search for #PinChat. If you use Tweetchat, Hootsuite, or Tweetdeck, I recommend keeping Twitter open to the mentions so you do not miss a tweet directed to you.

#PinChat Rules:

Stay on topic
Link to articles during the chat that relate to the topic or guest
Please share personal Pinterest profile at the end of the chat

How did and when did #PinChat get started?

I created #Pinchat ~ to fill a need in the community of people wanting to learn more about Pinterest both for personal, professional, non-profit/cause, and brand use. In November 2011, I launched the chat.
#Pinchat is not affiliated with any particular organization. I am not a representative or employee of Pinterest, just a passionate Pinner
