Listorious Interview

Why'd you start tweeting?

To connect with blog readers and network with others in my niche.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

debt freedom, saving money, frugal dad rocks

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

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

Christmas, because Xmas takes "Christ" out of the holiday, and that has happened enough.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

How long can you go without a tweet?

I've gone days, but try to drop in at least once a day.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

RT'ing without the @ symbol - drives me nuts! It's like pasting a URL without making it a hyperlink.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

Starting 1st job? Save 50% of income b4 piling on debt. Doing so buys you 1 year of freedom 4 every year saved..

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes, several times. Normally because their only mission was to peddle their product. I want to get to know the person first.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Be authentic. Don't just say what you think everyone wants to hear. People follow you because they want to hear from you.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Yes, I'm known for the occasional rant, and have to space out my Tweets a bit when that happens. No one likes a Twitter-holic.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

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

Help others. I think there is a lot more opportunity for communities and charities to harness the power of social media for good.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

The idea that what I say might inspire someone else. Either a quick pick-me-up, or simply making a connection because their day sucks, too!

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

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

The president, so we could trade some tweets on implementing frugality in government.

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

#ThingsSaidAfterSex, or something to that effect. Some funny tweets in there (and some slightly disturbing ones, too!)

FrugalDad in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I try to say what's on my mind 90% of the time, and RT great thoughts from other the remaining 10%.
