What feature should Twitter add?

Dl an archive of your tweets. That would be unbelievably awesome and useful.

How long can you go without a tweet?

I actually measured this one day. I went as long as I could go without checking it & was pretty proud. I mean, 2 whole minutes...

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes! Some dork who was constantly tweeting the same things over & over without variation. I think it was a bot. Or a dumbass. Dumbass bot?

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Search for things you like, follow people who talk about them, interact with those folks. Watch your own following soar.

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

Ahhh, so many. @SfSignal is awesome-keeps his pulse on genre stuff. Tons of asipiring Writers, Musicians-too long a list to share.

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

something like 'youknowsheaho'. It was like an endless stream of 'yo momma' jokes only with boobs.

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

YES! A very dear friend dropped me. I was crushed. Asked her why, "You fill up my page! There's no room for anyone else!" D'oh.

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

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

William Shatner. (He might have one... I should check.)

Everything. That's why it's 'All Things From My Brain'. :D

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yes. I tend to think concisely now. Plus, I've met all these wonderful people. And a couple not so wonderful. You know who you are...

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I try to keep humor out of everything I do. (And sometimes I let people hear my inner voice inside parenthesis.) Also, I'm a smartass.

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Music, books, turkey sammiches, my cat (little bastard), WifI, electricity.

Kate Staples in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

I wanted to see what it was all about and have never looked back. Also, peer pressure. Next I'll be smoking & having premarital sex.
