How long can you go without a tweet?

Ask my wife, not long enough. I call the iPhone the iBone, my arm extension. She wants to put it in my Beer

Gavin Costello in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

It happens. I don't take well to insults or random generalisations. @mirandadevine is an example

Tweetie. ability 2 manage multiple accounts & share with other services is excellent. Simple UI and awesome iPhone integration

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

converse. don't create accounts which only share links.

Gavin Costello in response to Listorious

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

too many to choose from. I talk too much to too many people and learn so much from all of them. but there are #bromances ;)

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I follow people who work in my areas and closely monitor what they are sharing to assess trends. Also for getting Questions answered.

Gavin Costello in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

Is twitter a social media application or a facilitator of social media interactions?

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

I don't worry about that. They'll find me, if they need/want to

What inspires you to tweet?

everything. Mainly my family, interesting changes in tech and stupid people or stupid things #critic

Gavin Costello in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

By being me. If I'm not interesting, I won't be followed. I don't need to be something I'm not.

Gavin Costello in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yes. I have so many more IRL friends and unique relationships with non-locals. And how about that river of information?

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

What feature should Twitter add?

Reply All And Conversation Threading on the WebUI. Reintroduce old skool RT and #fixreplies

Half arsed things like Lists. #fixreplies the retweet joke. I love twitter, but a good service doesn't REMOVE functionality
