Since its launch in October 2011, OTalk has provided a space for discussing Occupational Therapy practice and research, sharing learning, and professional networking through social media, on a weekly bases, hosting over 500 chats.
A lot can change in a decade, particularly on the Internet, and there is now a wide range of social media platforms for sharing information and building communities in different ways.
As many people choose to leave Twitter for other sites or to step away from social media more generally, we wanted to get the comminiuties thoughts on the next steps for OTalk and what our options might be for moving the chats to a new home?
We hope the questions below will help to get the conversation started and give us some inspiration for our future planning!
The questions
1. What do you enjoy or appreciate about OTalk chats? Is there anything that is unique to Twitter?
2. On the other hand, is there anything that you think OTalk chats are missing? Are there any features of other social media sites that you think would improve our chats?
3. Aside from Twitter, what other social media platforms do you use for connecting with other people in the OT world? What do you like about them?
4. Do you think you would continue to participate in OTalk chats if they were happening outside of Twitter?
