Listorious Interview

How long can you go without a tweet?

Already feeling jangly. >withdrawal<

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Retweet. And Retweet. And Retweet. Also? Retweet.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

I'm begging them to (finally!) restore #Track.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

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

I draw the line wherever clarity gets compromised. "abbreviate" is a tough one, for example.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Better yet, 129 characters of advice: That's my "Magic Tweet" #, which lets you add "RT @kitson " in front w/o having to edit me.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

I just unfollowed @BBC today, in fact. 17,000 followers, and the damn thing's never twittered a tweet. WTF?

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

@BackupMyTweets. http://sn.im/backupmytweets

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

The one I'll write next.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

Twitter **is** my professional life.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

A bottomless hunger for sharing and receiving knowledge.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

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

They're all interesting. That's why they're connections.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yup. I have less time now -- and more information.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I make them obviously from me.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

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

Nope. If they haven't found me yet, I haven't earned it.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

It was a slow news day.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

(1) Diet Coke. (2) New York City. (3) "The Third Man." (4) Don McLean's "American Pie." (5) A sense of justice. (6) Words.

Josh Weinberger in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

#FakeFoursquare's pretty good. On a similar bent, I personally get a kick out of many of the @Fake accounts (eg,@FakeAPStylebook & @FakeMTA).
