[PAO] Air Force leading the way with recruiting idea

[Holley, Julie S. Maj CAP USAF-AUX]

This is a great idea.

This is very much like a Tweet-up.  I did these at work at Vocus each year
to promote our annual report.  They are great because they allow people to
have a real, live conversation and to learn from each other. And, the
events often lead to a list of new Twitter followers for the person or
organization tweeting during the event, (and hopefully a bunch of re-tweets)

Taking it a step further, if hashtags are used, often an event can start to
trend which draws even more attention. It just needs to be publicized well
so that people participate.

My advice is to have one central person doing the tweeting with a few
helpers watching the conversations to moderate what questions are being
asked and to filter them through to the person Tweeting. (I recommend using
TweetDeck or something similar to do the monitoring.) The back and forth
conversations can get quite confusing, if not.
