Listorious Interview

What's your best tweet?

My best tweet has not happened yet. It will be something like this: "@dcap's film will be premiering at Sundance!!" with link to trailer. :)

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

How long can you go without a tweet?

I could probably go an entire day.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes, I unfollow anyone who repeatedly tweets negative updates and there is no context or balance. I don't need more negativity in my life.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

I like TweetDeck for when I am home at my desk and TwitterBerry for my Blackberry Storm. I also love http://tweettracker.mtv.com.

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Get to know the people who follow you. If you are trying to promote a product or service, this is even more important. Don't be fake.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

I wish that more #nonprofits would use Twitter in effective ways to grow support and share their services.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

I had blogged about @Schnittman, a veteran film editor & inspiration, only to find that he was on Twitter. Turns out he blogged about me too!

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

My friends make fun of my for tweeting a lot, particularly when we are at dinner. #mybad

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

Ima Let You Finish - It was so funny to see people remixing Kanye's eff up from the VMAs.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

I wish that Convent Collective in Harlem did. They are an amazing group of artists / change agents and more people should know about them.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I have used it to promote info for my employers, identify networking opportunities, get invites and promote info about my work.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

Why are the Shorty Awards important to you?

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

I don't want anyone to follow me unless they want to. I'm ok with not being followed by everyone I follow.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

I like the ability to quickly share useful / entertaining info in bite sized portions. You never know what or who you could inspire.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yes, by providing me with a tool to manage massive amounts of info and giving me a method to easily share my life with friends and family.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I only RT links that inspire me. When I tweet personal, it's always for friends so it's truthful. My timeline is a great digital rep of me.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

My family's love and support, my friends, books, films, internet, mobile phone :)

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

#thelampnyc, #medialiteracy, #bettereducationnow, #endofpoverty, #danielajustwonanoscar

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

I started tweeting in 2007 as research for MTV News.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

Their homepage should have more options for engagement. Example - a daily grouping of "follow them" recommendations based on your past tweets

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

#medialiteracy - I have a feeling others created it around the same time but I wish more people discussed this hashtag.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

@shawndecker because he is an amazing author and AIDS / HIV activist. A kick ass guy all around. Tweets inspiration daily.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

I don't think there is such a thing as a Twitter faux pas. I believe in all free speech. That said, I will unfollow you for stupid 'ish.

Daniela's Lair in response to Listorious

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

Some examples: media literacy, immigration rights, etc. I also won't shorten anyone's Twitter name because then others can't find them.
