I'm creating a twitter hashtag for members of my church in Reno, Nevada. The hashtag is #gracechat . Hashtags are a great way to organize conversations in Twitter among people with  shared interests. So, for example, this week Dan asked us to think about doubt and then to tweet our thoughts. If you will include the hashtag #gracechat somewhere in the body of your tweet, then we can all see what each other's comments simply by clicking on #gracechat when we are in twitter or whatever program we use to access twitter.

This week the topic is doubt, but this hashtag can be used anytime anyone in the Grace Church community wants to organize a topical discussion on Twitter.

You can follow hashtag organized chats easily from either Twitter, Hootsuite, or a program like TweetChat. An easy way to do this is to set up a separte stream in Hootsuite just for #gracechat .

Give it a try!
