Be Chatty
Two years ago, after the first Fitbloggin’ health and fitness conference in Baltimore, blogger Katy Widrick started a virtual chat on Twitter using the hashtag “FitBlog.” (Search: What's a hashtag?) Since then, the meeting has turned into a weekly 60-minute event (every Tuesday at 9 PM EST) in which hundreds of people tune in to the latest studies, controversial news, and general healthy living tips. It’s loosely moderated by a different person each week and covers three to six topics. You don’t have to be a blogger to join—you just need a Twitter account and an interest in living healthy. Participants are encouraged to be honest, open, and ask questions (fitblogchats.com).
