#Nessflash, a regular Twitter chat, offers the opportunity for Inverness area residents, businesses, organisations, and admirers to share their love of the city and surrounds on social media, in a coordinated Twitter event running for half an hour on the first Monday of every month from 9 – 9.30pm.
The first chat is scheduled to run on Monday 7th April at 9pm.
How Does #Nessflash work?
Each month the hosts will offer two themed questions to encourage people to put their thinking caps on and get engaged – these questions will be advertised in advance to allow people to plan their contribution and will then be tweeted as Q1 and Q2 at 9pm and 9.10pm.
To add your answers simply tweet them during the half-hour #Nessflash marked with A1 and A2, using the #Nessflash hashtag.
The questions will be followed by a 10 minute “freestyle” session where anyone with a local interest can share info about the Inverness area using the #Nessflash identifier, which could include:
- Inverness events
- Inverness organisations
- Travel tips for visitors to Inverness
- Inverness business promos
- Inverness job opportunities
- Photos of Inverness
Why Should I Join in #Nessflash?
The idea of #Nessflash is to focus the attention of the online audience on the Inverness and Loch Ness area– choosing a time to all tweet together increases the chances of trending on twitter, and attracting a larger audience. Using the #Nessflash hashtag identifier allows people who are interested to easily follow the conversation and find out more about the area.
A Twitter event is also a great way to network with others using social media in your area, you never know whom you might “meet” or where those new connections could take you or your organisation.
How Can I Join #Nessflash?
The #Nessflash event is open to all Twitter users.
