@Mike, agreed! It’s my chat app of choice.

@John, thanks for running #smbiz. I enjoy the chat. Didn’t know about /party. Appreciate the link.

Meryl, thanks for a great blog post. In addition to Tweetgrid.com, we like to use http://tweetgrid.com/party, which allows you to participate in the chat, monitor your Twitter account and stay informed with updates from the chat host (so you always know which question you’re on). It works great for our #smbiz small business chat. Looking forward to seeing you at the next one this Tuesday!

Thanks for compiling. I think TweetChat is a must have to follow these conversations and use it regularly.

Meryl, It’s been a pleasure to interact with you on Twitter and on our #SmallBizChat Weds. 8-9 ET.
This is a great post that I will tweet out to our peeps. Good ideas.

In addition to blocking a spammer, another quick way is to report him/her to @spam on twitter. I suggest that everyone follow the spam account before they need it. @Spam follows back. Then you can do a silent spam request. From regular update/tweet window type “d spam @spamersname they are spam ” and add anything that helps proove it.

This sends a direct message to the spam account, without having to go into your direct messages tab. (BTW, you can use this “d spam” to send any direct message to anyone that you mutually follow each other.)
