Listorious Interview

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

Ghandi. "Still didn't hit anyone...Getting really hungry."

Paula Poundstone in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

I used to just hand write notes in 140 characters, and deliver them door-to-door a few times a day. Boy, people don't like that. Embarrassing? You betcha.

Paula Poundstone in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

I often don't eat, or bathe for days, and my thumbs have grown unusually strong.

Paula Poundstone in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

A friend of mine showed it to me. She showed me that she followed Shaquille O'neill. I knew right away I belonged on Twitter. It was like when Fanny Brice met Nicky Arnstein in Funny Girl. Everything froze, and I heard, "Twitter, Twitter, what a beautiful name." I may have begun to sing. I don't remember. I blacked out. I still don't remember the the Shaquille O'neill tweet she showed me, but honestly, what could it have said? "I'm still way up here," or, "Gee, you guys look small. I wish I could hear you."

140 characters of advice for a new user?

When you find you can break logs with your thumbs, and you haven't eaten, or bathed for days, you may be tweeting too much.
