Listorious Interview
Ppl quoting song lyrics. Tweeting in languages I cannot read. Those who use foul language gratuitously and without cleverness.
Tweetie keeps me happy on the road, but when Tweetdeck works (damn you, Mac OS!) I feel like the Wizard of Oz with my big ol' dashboard
Give it time. Don't believe ppl who tell you it's worthless, or vain. Explore your interests and share your best. Learn how it works.
Share spur-of-the-moment photos.
meeting @mymarrakesh, relative of Lady Mary Montague writer of 18th c. Turkish Embassy Letters from which my own Expat Harem book springs
Salman Rushdie -- the man is strictly Facebook
no. if there were I'd try connecting on his/her plane and points of interest. ultimately tho I'd only want the follow if they did
Probably, but I've wiped it from my mind. Oh some days I go too far but luckily I tweet in a time zone most ppl sleep through.
I enjoyed the combination of mean-spirited high-mindedness of the #bonofacts meme
To attend conferences, find and meet my pro peers, stay up to date on my industry's advances, share my resources with others
What category do you *wish* you'd been nominated for? [cultural institution is fab but who wants to go up against a museum or a zoo?]
for a far-flung expat like me it can be a chance to bump into kindred ppl in the cosmos, or share the ideas I'm revolving
I try to make sure they cleave to who I am: woman writer, cultural creative, global citizen, identity adventurer, Berkeley expat, Turkophile
Living outside USA for 11 years it's helped me find a new footing in the world. I've gone 'back to school' in topics that truly interest me
hot water. lavender oil. Internet access. friends with and without fur. a good view from my home. enough sleep.
Forward-thinking. World peace. Books. Vipassana. Istanbul2010 (it's a European capital of culture and I'm hosting a year-long blog carnival).
At breakfast on a rocky cliff overlooking the Aegean, as swallows dipped and hunted, to become visible and join the wider whirl.
ppl don't use hashtags because they're created, they use them because they're useful. i'd to see like #expatharem more often, that's a goal
We should be able to nest other people's lists in our own, one click. Ppl on our lists should be able to DM us. Encrypted DMs.
Negativity without context, or more than one negative tweet per hundred. Telling ppl you want to DM them but they're not following you.
Maybe I'd shorten even more if I thought ppl would know what I mean. Can't risk being unintelligible. Also, I seriously like 25cent words.
the writer extraordinaire Susan "Orchid Thief" Orlean, who manages to mix personal with professional content, be captivating and nonceleb
momentary ideas that many ppl react to in delight: e.g. mesh coat covered with climbing kittens, a non-Cruella de Vil design
A day or so. I don't really know I haven't been tested.
