Listorious Interview

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

wildlife, healthy ecosystems, clean air, clean water, old growth, preserve our heritage, and of course, ponies for all

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

#wolfwednesday !! It is a great way to tell the world that you are someone who wants healthy ecosystems with all the animals in them.

How long can you go without a tweet?

Sometimes Saturdays and Sundays slip by pretty quickly...

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Hopefully we haven't made too many, but it seems it is a bad move to be rude to people. Don't say anything you wouldn't say to someone's face

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

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

I try to avoid shortening as much as possible, but it's hard when you want to make your tweet re-tweetable. So, yeah, it's all fair game!

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

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

I've always been a fan of @BethKanter She is doing great work to help NPOs use these new-fangled tools the best way possible.

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

We had our ED tweeting live from a very important legislative meeting that yielded great results for Columbia Highlands: http://bit.ly/uJCEr

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

In the beginning, we followed everyone who followed us, but quickly realized how crazy that is. We follow PNW folks & NPOs now

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Real time is not just a fun outreach tool- it creates an opportunity to distill your mission/message and make it accessible. <3 it!

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

I haven't yet delved into apps--no one at NPOs has any free time :P

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Not yet, though we were really calling out pretty regularly for wolf comments last month. I hope folks realize it's all for a good cause!

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

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

Take 10 minutes every day to use Twitter to make the world a better place...share an action alert, ask friends to join an NPO, talk goodness!

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

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

Most interesting to me is to chat with real people (as opposed to news entities or orgs). I like the conversation best of all.

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

A fab outreach tool to connect with people who care about healthy ecosystems, abundant wildlife, scenic lands, and strong communities.

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

The quiet beauty of eastern WA, craggy peaks of the N Cascades, mossy old growth giants, howl of wolves, & people who work hard 4 the wilds

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

What will twitter do for you this year?

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

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

I would like all our members who have accounts to follow us and share our work with friends. Barring that, maybe @highcountrynews

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

Well, our deathly clever wit, of course!

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

It has given us a huge opportunity to do even more good in the wilds of the PNW, so yeah, you could say that.

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Our members, our staff, our board, our supporters, @groundwire, and chocolate

Conservation NW in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

We wanted to get out into the world to hear what is important to people, share our vision for a wild NW, and interact w/ other wildlife fans.
