Listorious Interview

What feature should Twitter add?

I understand that before I joined, it was easier to track a conversation between two people - that would be very handy.

Regular guy w/ BT in response to Listorious

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

#braintumorsurvivor is too long and #BTsurvivor is not descriptive enough - so I don't have an answer yet

Regular guy w/ BT in response to Listorious

Leaving too little space for a retweet

What's your best tweet?

tweets related to inspirational brain tumor stories

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes. Initially on Twitter, I would follow back anyone. I have become more selective. I may also unfollow someone who has unfollowed me.
