Listorious Interview

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

Argue with each other and take up my entire twitter feed by putting a period before their opponents handle. Oh, wait, you said "more" of...

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

@SeanPadilla is a brilliant, incredibly open minded, and plays thoughtful, fun/funny music. I love that I "met" him.

What inspires you to tweet?

YouTube commenters. They are SO BADLY INFORMED (but sure of themselves) that I am determined to get more information out there.

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

Obama. "What is the matter with everybody? Drinking foreign beer does not mean I don't love the US" would be great to read on a daily basis.

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

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

What are six things you could never do without?

Oxygen, Spanglish, my library card, the occasional trip to NYC, escapist movies, and open-minded friends.

What feature should Twitter add?

A take-the-boring-tweets-out-of-my-feed button. But I don't know how a bot would sort through that sort of thing...

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

I'm all about bringing respect back to public schools. #BushWentToYale kind of sums that up for me.

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

There's a difference between asking someone a question and attacking them. Not knowing the difference will get you blocked, my friends.

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

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. If it's good enough for Julie Andrews, it's good enough for me.

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

Lisa Maatz. If ever I'm short for news about women's rights on twitter, that woman is ON IT.

The Happy Feminist in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

Heh..."Dear Dog: MY FOOT IS NOT A PILLOW ohyou'resofluffly ok, go ahead." TWEETS ABOUT DOGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN TWEETS ABOUT CATS.
