• Don’t feel compelled to read each individual tweet.
• Respond to tweets which resonate with you and chat (reply) to comments you wish to remark.
• INCLUDE #ukedchat within your tweet.
• If you normally protect your twitter account, you will need to unprotect your account for your comments to be included in the archive.
