Chat topics, dates and times for May 2013

We’re excited to be in our 2nd year of #AWCchat:  a one-hour, weekly online chat on Twitter where we discuss a variety of communications-related topics.

Nope, you do not have to be an AWC (Association for Women in Communications) member or a woman to participate.

The chat is held weekly, for one hour, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. CST (Central Standard Time) on Thursdays. There will usually be a transcript on our Chirpstory channel if you can’t make it.

Summary transcript for 26 April 2012 #AWCchat: mobile apps

Thanks to everyone who participated in our nineteenth #AWCChat on Twitter – we had an “App Party” to share suggestions about our favorite professional and personal apps (applications) for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets such as the iPad.

Four items were up for discussion:

1)   Name your top 5 favorite apps right now on your phone or tablet.

2)  Name an app that you uninstalled recently, and why.

3)   Name some of your favorite but more obscure apps that others might not know about.

4)   Name a favorite “silly” app that you know is not quantum physics or anything, but you enjoy it anyway.

**  On Chirpstory – the summary transcript for 26 April chat on mobile apps.

The next chat is on Thursday, 3 May, and topic is TBD as we get guest hosts for the 3 and 10 May chats.

**  Chat schedule and topics for May 2012 – TBD

Thanks for your support of the AWC (Association for Women in Communications) community.
