What is a Twitter Chat?
A twitter chat is a group discussion centered around a certain topic. It allows for the flow of ideas and questions. It is basically a convention hosted on twitter.

What is Bitcoin Chat?   
Bitcoin Chat is a twitter chat centered around Bitcoin! All questions and answers will have the hashtag #BitcoinChat to allow others to follow the discussion. I hope plenty of notable Bitcoiners will join in and allow for some clarifications about Bitcoin and the events happening in Bitcoin. @Coinabul will be the host and moderator. They will moderate and ask questions to keep the discussion going.

why don't you just use irc and with a bot you can pull in the hashtag?
The idea is to expose Bitcoin to people's followers. It's sort of a ripple effect. If it gets big enough we might be able to hit the trending topics. (But that's months down the line.)

I'm in the same boat. No Twitter account with any followers. That said, it seems like a good idea.

Good luck!
