Listorious Interview

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

I am amazed that a small charity can gain such exposure through Twitter. Thanks to my followers and supporters!

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

Our blog is educational for our niche audience, so I blog about entries. I RT a lot, post pictures, and recognize great Tweeters.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

It started as a social effort. I tried to enlist my friends because I was living in Peru and wanted to have close contact with them.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

My mind, virtual and real friends, my dog, Diet Coke, fortune cookies and nature.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

Yikes! I don´t pay much attention to trends. It seems like they are all started by kids!

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

I would like philanthropic terms to trend. #charity, #dosomething, #donate$10, #volunteering, #imagine

How long can you go without a tweet?

When I´m in the jungle, I´m often forced to live computer free. I don´t enjoy it and I hate not thanking people for follow fridays, etc.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

Twitter is being spoiled by spammers, and I wish Twitter could get it under control. Such as a rating or verification system.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Constantly tweeting about MLM schemes, teeth whitening (LOL) and ways to make money on Twitter.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?

Hard question, as I try to be brief and use correct grammar at same time. I don´t like reducing Great to Gr8t or Your to ur.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?

@Nonprofitsorg & @CharityIdeas are great resources. Inspiring: @MartiSunshine @LauraLassiter @BeingSwell, @ProsperbyDesign @Marisa_Herrera

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Spam tweeters. I also unfollow people that tweet nonsense every few seconds, and tweeters using offensive language.

140 characters of advice for a new user?

What is your goal? To share music, recipes, quotes, your blog? People want to hear more than what blend of coffee you had at Starbucks!

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

People have responded to a recent tweet about a blog naming my 9 Favorite Veterinarian Tweeters, bit.ly/4ytCni. People like lists!

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

Tweetdeck is addictive, but it doesn´t work well on my mini-laptop. I like Klout due to the interesting stats.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Not yet! But it might happen now that I want people to vote for me to win this Shorty award! LOL

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?

Discuss how they make a difference. Tweet a small thing that makes them happy. Follow links and read what people tweet about.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

It plays a large role. I like the brevity and we can deliver a message to interested parties, while helping others do the same.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?

@TeenysFriends. I actually named a rescue dog Teeny! I am also glad I reconnected with @LoisMarketing, a friend from Atlanta.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

Feeling connected to like-minded people. I love meeting anipals like @cyberbonn, @KatieBichon, @Niqqi @petxpert + many more!

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?

The Worldwide Veterinary Service & the Animal Medical Care Foundation. The AMCF is trying. I would like to see activity from @LupinePet.

Amazon CARES in response to Listorious

Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?

There are several celebrity activists that I would love to follow me! Plus I would love to have many Amazon CARES activists on Twitter!
