Listorious Interview

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Once or twice by a couple of my friends, yes. It is well-deserved censure.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

The mysterious workings and vagaries of my addled mind drive me to share obscure and unrelated observations with the world. Hence, Twitter.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

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

Nothing in particular. I can think of some things I wish people would do *less*, but not more.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Actually, it has. I discovered the entire WebLit community through Twitter, which changed my view, approach, and productivity in writing.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I suppose just by being unique myself? I could be facetious and say "by using proper English" but that's a bit unfair.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

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

Not really. The people who I want to follow me are the people who find my tweets interesting or entertaining, whoever they are.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Books, music, weather, time to myself, writing implements, and a certain individual who shall remain unnamed.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

How long can you go without a tweet?

If I have the ability to tweet, maybe a day? Take the ability away and I can go on for as long as needed with no adverse effects.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Sending tweets about your product to people who use key words, a.k.a. the twitter equivalent of cold-calling. Also retweeting without credit.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

#moleymonday - I made it to talk like a mole from Redwall on Mondays. It'd be awesome. Also, #BizarroMe was fun but short-lived.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

They already added the one feature that I wanted, so... nothing. I don't want them to add any more features. Too many features is bad.

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Don't worry about being interesting or getting followers. If you are, and you do, great! If not, well, value the ones you have.

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

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

I only allow myself to occasionally shorten the word "with" to "w/", and even more rarely use common abbreviations such as "abbrv."

Five of Spades in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes. A couple because they no longer interested me, and one because he drove me to anger. Telling names, however, is quite rude.
