Outside the box

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter will be Monday, October 17, from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Since it’s election season, our theme will be “The Great ‘Dallas’ Debate!” You’ll be asked to take sides on some of “Dallas’s” thorniest issues, so expect lots of passionate discourse. Of course, this is #DallasChat, so we’ll keep everything civil.

If you’re new to #DallasChat or need a refresher, here’s how it works: During each hour-long discussion, I tweet 10 questions from my Twitter handle, @DallasDecoder. Participants respond to the questions and comment on each other’s answers, making each chat a big group conversation.

Here are three tips:

• Each #DallasChat question is numbered (Q1, Q2, etc.), so your responses should include the corresponding number (A1, A2, etc.).

• Include the hashtag #DallasChat in your tweets.

• During the discussion, enter #DallasChat in Twitter’s search field. This will help you watch the search results so you can follow the conversation. Click “All” to see all the related tweets.

I hope you can participate in our discussion. See you there!
