9) RSVPs
Do you have a special guest lined-up for your Twitter Chat? Schedule a chat and your guests can RSVP to it. Participants can RSVP too. This helps you to see how many Twitter Users could turn up for your Twitter Chat.

8) Timezone Conversion
If a Twitter User logs-in to Nurph to view your chats, the chat times are automatically converted to the Twitter User's local timezone. No more messing with World clocks or "Whoops I got the wrong time!" tweets.

7) Super-slick, IM-style Chat
Nurph Channels make it super easy to participate in Twitter Chats. Simply type out your tweet and hit enter to publish it! The hashtag is added automatically, and the tweets stream by as soon as they're published. This makes conversations flow naturally, just like on instant messaging.
Wow, Nurph improved my twitterchat experience exponentially. Yay, actual chat! #genchat

6) Participants Presence & Audience Measurement
Nurph adds a whole new dimension to Twitter Chats. "Presence Features" tell you who and how many people are Online & Participating, and how many are observing from the Audience. The Audience can even include viewers who don't have a Twitter Account!
Like the fact that I can see who is signed in to @nurph for this chat! Nice feature. Howdy, BRANDidos from T-dot (infamous mayor) #brandchat

5) Question & Topic Highlighting
When your chat is live on air the Topic is highlighted next to an "On Air" indicator. And when you post a new Question it is pinned to the top of the timeline for everyone to see (until the next question comes along, of course!). And when people arrive in late to the Chat they can instantly see what the latest Topic and Questions are!
@morganlee_anne I do like the way @Nurph fixes questions at top of chat box for those using the tool. Also a Chat brand page #MMchat

4) Moderation
Use the moderation features to choose who can chat and who can't. If there's tweets that you'd rather not include in chat, type "/block @User" (with @User being a Twitter Username). The tweets from this user will be hidden from the chat timeline.
Just learned from @Nurph - how to block users. They are SERIOUS about keeping a chat stream clean and spam free. <3
