Listorious Interview

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

Hard to say. Everyone has a tale to tell here in Twitter.

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

No, I believe. Everyone here seems "gluttonous" when it comes to fresh knowledge and information. Such nose for news!

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I use it to strengthen ties with the people who subscribe to and follow Mercola.com. It's interaction on a much more personal level.

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

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

I rarely shorten words. If it won't fit, I'll rewrite the whole tweet.

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

Keyword filter for the Home Feed would be nice .

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

Tweets get important health news across in no time. But more than speed, there's so much room for interaction.

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

I'd be willing to bet that if anywhere near 90,000 Americans die from the swine flu, I'll eat my tie. http://twitter.com/mercola/status/3968808018

Dr. Mercola in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes. I've come across a few spammers.

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yes. It has enabled me to further transcend barriers, with more and more on the grassroots now gaining access to vital health information.
