Listorious Interview

What time during the day do you tweet or read Twitter?

7 a.m.-1 p.m from computer; throughout the day and evening from my Droid. Once in a while if I wake up at 3 a.m. and see an interesting tweet, I'll reply or retweet then, too.

Lori Gama ♥ in response to Listorious

What topics do you mostly tweet about?

Social media, Twitter, websites, SEO, Google, Latinas in social media, Latinos in social media, diversity in social media, Facebook, Foursquare, hope and achieving goals.

What are you known for on Twitter?

I have eclectic tastes so I'll tweet about Twitter, SEO, Google, website production, social media but I'll also tweet about movies, TV shows, breaking news, encouragement and love. I guess I'm known for being a conversationalist, too. I'm on a wide variety of lists.

What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?

A big misconception of Twitter is that it's a waste of time. Twitter is what you make it. It can be many different things for many different people. It's evolved into becoming the world's largest and best human search engine. And it's also a great way to show people your true colors because people can get to know you. Once they know you, if they like you, they'll trust you. Once they trust you, they'll refer you to their friends or hire you or become your friend. It's really about building relationships. It takes time to build relationships.

How do you decide what you're going to tweet?

If I think my tweet will serve a purpose in some way, I will tweet it. But I do hold back a lot. Serving a purpose means being helpful to someone, whether through a helpful blog post I read and want to share or by encouraging people to reach their goals or posting a photo to share glimpses of my personal life. (I like it when people do that.)

Lori Gama ♥ in response to Listorious

How do you imagine Twitter changing?

Twitter will try to compete with Foursquare more but I'd rather have the holy trinity of social networks work separately (Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare). Twitter will have to come up with better filters due to the droves of people who use it like a chat window all the time (I'm guilty of this but not too much). I'm so glad they changed the game by coming out with lists. The number of lists you're on is far more important than the number of people following you. Influence is everything. Using it wisely is very important.

Why should people follow you or add you to their list?

I'm good at spotting winners; I'm told I tweet about the coolest tools, blog posts, tech news, social media news, SEO and Website stuff. I like to have conversations with people and I love helping people.

What are some recent topics or trends you've discussed on Twitter?

Foursquare is hot! I have become fascinated by it. Just wrote a guest blog post about it: http://www.empowermemagazine.com/2010/07/26/lets-check-in-to-foursquares-milestones/

Also, having a conversation with @SteffanAntonas about the Twitter lists: there doesn't seem to be a solution for Twitter lists appearing in reverse chronological order or any way to search the lists themselves without investing a lot of time.

Lori Gama ♥ in response to Listorious

Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?

@RainnWilson; @StephenAtHome (Stephen Colbert) and many, many comedians who are tweeting.

Lori Gama ♥ in response to Listorious

Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?

I like to check-in on celebrity tweeters for the same reason I watch the Oscars: to get a glimpse of their "real" selves.

Lori Gama ♥ in response to Listorious

Do you find Twitter lists useful and can you name any follow-worthy lists?

Yes: except I wish you guys would note that I am actually on 729 lists instead of the number you have, which is way less. Follow-worthy lists: Mashable's lists; Scobleizer's, all the top peeps.
