People got tired of so many status updates on Facebook

#RTea. It's so witty!! Morning #RTea? Afternoon #RTea? How do y'all not like that??

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Sending me a link when we first talk. That's like trying to kiss someone you just met!

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

Twitter should stay simple & not kill the 3rd party app industry. Altho, conversation threading & contact username search would be nice.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

Check out my list of Friendly People. In case you haven't picked up on it, I'm a fan of generally friendly people.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

http://Su.pr helps me learn what y'all do and don't want to see.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Not that I specifically recall. Although it hurts my feelings when people don't follow me back! Harder to converse then...

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

Use Twellow to find cool new people. Be authentic. Be outgoing, few tweeple get offended when strangers talk to them randomly.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

I've met so many great people, I really can't choose one.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

Don't watch trending topics as much as you'd think I should.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

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

@FeliciaDay? I love Dr. Horrible's Sing Along blog. I've seen the Guild too, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone that ;)

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

No. But it's something I intentionally moderate and am concerned about. Why? Did someone say something?

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

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

Someone doesn't have a Twitter feed? How do they Tweet?

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

My favorite color is green. I like red wines. My favorite tweeters are the ones that talk to me about their average day like normal ppl.

Sam Mallikarjunan in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

It's very involved. Networking, education/self-improvement, driving traffic, lead generation, trend monitoring, even direct sales.
