Listorious Interview

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

#compassion, #lovingkindness, #forgiveness, #reconciliation, #peace, #justice

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

I was curious about the whole thing, and it seemed like a useful tool.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

I don't need every detail of someone's day. Tell what interests or moves you, but spare me notifications about your trip to Target.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

I've got no suggestions at the moment.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

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

I don't like to shorten things when I'm quoting something. If I can't get it in 140 characters the way it is, I won't do it.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

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

@elephantjournal tweets important, insightful, and interesting stuff. Great for spiritual, health-conscious stewards of the planet.

What's your best tweet?

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

I don't think I have, and I'm not quite sure what would push me do it.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

There's no right way to do this. Just be yourself. The most interesting tweeters make the medium their own. Just be real, and it'll be great.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

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

@spiver is a great Twitterer, and I enjoy her tweets a lot.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

You're doing just fine. Don't be too hard on yourself. ; )

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

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

@bobthurman is awesome, and I'd feel like one of the cool kids if he followed me. ; )

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I use it for professional development (sharing my writing, etc.), but I appreciate it most as a way of sharing bits of Dharma with others.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

I'm extremely interested in human communication, and, like it or not, tweeting has emerged as a unique new way of communicating.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

It's teaching me to keep things pithy. (I tend to be a verbose fellow.)

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Dharma books, an iPhone, Moleskine notebooks, cowboy shirts, comfortable shoes, trucker jackets.

Rev. Danny Fisher in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I just try to follow one of the principles of meditation: "Not too tight, not too loose." I try not to be too stuffy or too irreverent.
