What is a chat?
A Twitter chat is where a group of Twitter users meet at a pre-determined time to discuss a certain topic, using a designated hashtag (#) for each tweet contributed. A host or moderator will pose questions (designated with Q1, Q2…) to prompt responses from participants (using A1, A2…) and encourage interaction among the group.
Twitter chats provide a chance to network and grow your circle (and knowledge!) through shared interests.
Twitter chats are also a great means to share your knowledge and subject matter expertise. It’s also an opportunity to make meaningful connections and build community on social media. It is not intended to be a sales pitch or promotion, but rather a way to increase awareness for your brand.

How to listen
You can simply click on the hashtag on a tweet to see all of the recent tweets around that hashtag.
You can also follow a hashtag in your Twitter client like Tweetdeck or Hootsuite. Just set up a search for the hashtag and all of the tweets with that hashtag should show up in the search window.
