Earlier on in the year I suggested we organise a regular chat as Zimbabweans on Twitter. I asked a few of my own twitter friends what they thought about the concept and indeed the appropriate time and/or day given the challenges with time zones and so forth. Behind the scenes and after much consultation it was decided that Tuesday was probably the best day.
The Format
#263Chat is essentially an hourly discussion using both Facebook and Twitter for anyone interested in Zimbabwe and the fortnightly discussion. To follow and join us, please search for the hashtag #263Chat on Twitter or LIKE ‘Sir Nigel’s Journey’ on Facebook.
The discussion lasts an hour with 5 questions and the idea is to generate a real-time discussion centred on Zimbabwe.
People are free to submit their own questions and/or discussion topics beforehand and we simply put them out there to be discussed on the day in a structured manner. Please feel free to email me with ideas or suggestion topics using my email: sirnigelsjourney [at] yahoo [dot] com or find me on Twitter/Facebook.
The first #263Chat commences on 25th September 2012 at 5pm Zim time.
Till then…

I think 5 questions/topics are too much for an hour. Just one would be more interesting #myopinion

Thanks for the feedback.Yes some have raised that issue i.e. 5 being too many topics.Some even want to have it as a weekly #263Chat session.What do you think about that?
