#BirthGenius Twitter Chat: 3rd Tuesday of every month, times to be announced
Join birth and breastfeeding professionals and activists to discuss effectively leveraging the web to empower the 2.0 mom with evidence-based info, affect policy change and grow birth businesses and organizations.
Why Your #BirthGenius Matters
We want women to be armed with the best possible knowledge about birth. We believe that when a women googles “birth” she should find evidence-based information.
And – so that she’ll actually *read* it – the evidence-based information should be packaged up to speak directly and effectively to her.
Birth and breastfeeding pros hold amazing birth genius – knowledge, services, skills, and political actions – that bring evidence-based care to moms.
How do we as birth pros become better communicators – developing spot-on messages, creating websites that speak directly to mothers, and getting top-notch rankings on search engines?
Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the web 2.0 world or you’re a social media maven with a blog and thousands of followers this conversation needs you. Everyone’s welcome!
You’re invited to the #BirthGenius Twitter Chat
Who: Birth and breastfeeding pros and activists who want to arm women with evidence-based information about birth (including midwives, doulas, lactation consultants and volunteers, and birth activists)
What: A Twitter chat to talk about reaching the 2.0 mom with evidence based info
When/where: Every third Tuesday time tba; #BirthGenius
Your hosts: Jeanette and Hillary. Follow us both for updates on each month’s topic!
This your first chat, too?
Here’s how this works.
- The party’s where the hashtag is at! You can find other people who have joined the chat by watching for the #BirthGenius hashtag. Add your genius by marking each of your tweets with the #BirthGenius hashtag.
- Apps make it easy. You can follow a party by doing a search on twitter for the hashtag you’d like, and then refreshing the search to read the latest posts. But this gets old fast! There’s a lot of websites that can help you with this – we like TweetChat.com. Log in for free and enter the chat’s hashtag (#BirthGenius). A stream of your chat’s tweets refreshes in near real time, plus automatically assigns your hashtag to each post you make – so easy!
- Chat etiquette. It’s ok to “lurk” a bit – at most chats, it never hurts to watch the stream a bit before you start to tweet. At #BirthGenius chats – feel free to jump in! We’re all learning here.
