Listorious Interview

How long can you go without a tweet?

If you are counting the minutes, hours and/or days between Tweets, consult a physician.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Talking, not listening. Failure to interact, play nice. Calling oneself a social media guru. Projecting a used-car-salesman persona.

A more logical way to view, sort, group and utilize friend lists - both your own, and others.

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes, plenty of people, because they are mundane, post too frequently or infrequently... I don't kiss and tell.

What's your best tweet?

I will change the world if I am called to do so, until then, I will not live with the illusion of being able to do so.

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

I did, on a Follow Friday, and after that, I have greatly rationed my Tweet pace.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

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

Strike a balance between insight, conversation and original content - almost everyone hangs to the left or the right.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I share the painting process behind each picture I create, on-location and from the studio.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

My desire to learn and meet others who can unknowingly change my perception in 140 characters or less; and share my work.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

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

Connected with the partner for the ad agency SS+K, who let me paint the Brooklyn Bridge view from their downtown office.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

It has, by connecting me with people I would have never otherwise met, and getting to know them on a daily basis.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

Convey my true self while sharing the artistic process real-time from around the world.

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

Why'd you start tweeting?

To create awareness about my art - my efforts officially beginning on July 2nd, 2009, the day I left my ad agency job.

BORBAY in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?
