Something I have been wanting to do since I’ve been on Twitter is host a Russian language “Tweetup”. I organize real-world Meetups every week to practice Russian, so why not do the same thing on Twitter?

So it’s settled, I’m hosting my first Russian Tweetup on February 28th at 1:00pm EST/GMT-5 (1:00pm = 21:00 Moscow time) and you’re invited! (Click here if you need help with time zones.)

This is the first time I’m doing this, so it’s going to be a little experimental, but this is how it should work:

• Everyone will log onto Twitter on the day and time specified above.
• Simply tweet as you normally would, but follow each post with this hashtag: #rltu (Russian language Tweetup)
• You will need to run a search for this hashtag to follow all the tweets. You can do this simply through Twitter, but it’s best to use an application like TweetDeck, or HootSuite.
• The point is to practice Russian, so tweets should be in Russian.
• It’s a good idea to have a Russian/English dictionary open at the same time in case you need help. Multitran.ru is a good one.
• The Tweetup will last an hour.

Well, I think that’s about it! Let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll be tweetin’ with you soon!
