Weekly Roundup: Twitter Chat Edition
December 10, 2009 by Frugal Dad
cipated in a Personal Finance Twitter chat on the subject of holiday savings co-hosted by Craig of BudgetPulse.com, along with the folks from Wisebread.com. It was a lot of fun, and something that I suspect will remain popular going forward.Basically, participants follow along using a Twitter hashtag which identifies all tweets related to the chat (some of last night’s transcript may even be accessible by searching on “#bp” or viewing here). I’ll try to get the word out ahead of time next week via Twitter and Facebook, and hope you’ll join in the discussion.
