Listorious Interview

What's your best tweet?

I am currently fascinated by people who have taken the Yo-Yo to the Xtreme and am captivated by their oscillating virtuosity!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

A few times, as I Tweet A LOT! Usually it is because they have the alerts in their phone set up wrong and I drained their battery! :)

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

Twitter is a platform that gives people a chance to get to know me, and it helps to build the like, know, and trust factor for biz to happen.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

It really comes down to the people. The folks I connect with inspire me and are the fuel that keeps the engines running!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

Engage! I will never understand why a person would follow somebody and then not even say HELLO! Get out there and GET ACTIVE!!!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

So many, but I would say connecting with Bob Burg, co-author of "The Go-Giver". I credit him as the seed that started all this!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

100% yes! I have connected with so many new life long friends and created a booming consulting business, all in less than 10 months.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I would say it is simply my personality that creates uniqueness. It is all me out there, and I hold nothing back!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

I have honestly never thought about it, but I am kind of surprised Seth Godin is not active on Twitter. He would be a great addition.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

To meet great people and share ideas!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

Jimmy Fallon - I started the "Get @JimmyFallon to follow me campaign" with multiple Tweets and creative videos. Nothing yet....Stay Tuned!

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

#Snuggie is trending on Twitter and in stores near you!

How long can you go without a tweet?

Sorry, I was tweeting. What is the question again?

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

1. Linking people up without engaging them first. 2. Automation 3. Using Twitter as a one way communication tool.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

I would like to see a more active way to fight spam and higher API rates for developers to get creative.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Tweet in thirds! One-third about you having fun, one-third engaging & creating value for others, and the last one-third about your business

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

I will shorten anything to make quality Tweets happen!

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

If they are selfish, spammy, or not engaging I will show them the door. I do try to offer up some advice first, just in case they are new.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

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

Scott Monty for showing this works for a large global company like Ford. Scott Stratten & Alyssa Milano for being so engaging & authentic.

Harrison Painter in response to Listorious

So many, but I really enjoy Tweetmeme, Twellow & Twitvid. On future note, really looking fwd to the potential of Seesmic buying Ping.fm
