I'd like to follow last night's chat on <a href="http://t.co/jxknGXL4">tweetchat.com</a> How do I access all the chat & remove smart pausing message?<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23edchatsa"><s>#</s><b>edchatsa</b></a>” </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html" title="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html"></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Up to that point I had only been using a free programme called Tweetdeck for Twitter chats.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> I wrote a blogpost on how to use Tweetdeck last month  <a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html" title="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html">http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html</a></span><span style="font-size: small;">  The reason I enjoy using Tweetdeck is because you can have a whole host of hashtags open and can follow where you wish. But I have to admit - this can be distracting at times. <br /><br />After liaising with Philemon who said he had Tweetdeck installed but felt he would prefer to use Tweetchat,  I decided to explore Tweetchat. I discovered that Tweetchat doesn’t need to be installed as it is completely web-based. It also allows you to focus completely on the hashtag you are interested in. So, this is how it works:</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Instructions </span></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1.

Choose the hashtag you wish to follow and type it in on the top (to the left of ‘<i>Go</i>’). This spot is almost hidden. I am using the #edchatsa for this since this chat is something I enjoy participating in every week. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSEVrYMUZWQnSJIOXzQFn2nyWabpxL8Qswayvxgaw2wS6LZz3_RKm3lku7ujX10ByPfE60gT8MpxQOI2_2dTw9kOJ5lX-cN55FbUdo_MjrR75lyrn_t3GtLv0Se1vWRCWAlCmLdUnrkg/s1600-h/image7%25255B1%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBC8DHrbDUrb-AhV8k2FYaN2AsSHx0qkmMBqRE8HtHh42zaza8bm60iP7RBqGes7NGiHPAxLRn6aREsWC-sNEgKacpgpEGbcp-ZsyQLixYFUpc6G3D9Jawx5QP71BEf6hrCGFTnAlUIro/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4.
