Since #carchat is an incredible use of social media, and is not just about "car guys", it should be enjoyed by all. So here's a quick and easy "How-To" on #carchat…it really is this simple.

How to follow a discussion on Twitter

Three easy steps if you want to join Twitter and participate in #carchat:

• Sign up for Twitter
• Load up Tweet Grid in a new tab in your web browser.
• Use your Twitter login on the Tweet Grid page to reply or say something about #carchat. Reply directly to someone during the discussion by putting an "@" in front of their Twitter name. Be sure to add "#carchat" at the end of whatever you say during the discussion, so that others following along can read what you've written — or questions you may have asked. When @michaelbanovsky, the friendly neighbourhood moderator, uses [[TOPIC]] it means that the topics will be changing.

Or one very easy step if you'd just like to follow along:

• Load up Tweet Grid in a new tab in your web browser, and follow along at 8PM EST. When someone uses "@" it means they're replying directly to someone else.

Oh, I almost forgot: Don't forget to look at the preview of this week's #carchat.
