Listorious Interview

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

I use Twitter to promote my websites and creative stuff - and to promote other gifted people and charities.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

This question should have been at the end of the interview!

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

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

Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Bill Bailey. They're all ideal Twitter people - witty and kind.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

Too many. Were some funny Xmas ones.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

Sometimes it's a pre-arranged thing, or something will just come out in a flash of inspiration (pretentious LOL).

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

I think it has. Not financially, but it's opened up a lot of new doors, and is the best social network site for creative people by far.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I have a quirky and witty mind, and mix it up with, I hope, interesting links.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Computer, pen, paper, music, books, food.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

To promote my work. But now it's a mixture of that and communicating with people with similar interests.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

More uplifting stuff, rather than on some shallow celebrities. Say: art, poetry, literature, music, charities, animals, green, humanitarian.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

Maybe just extend the character limit to 150! I like to waffle!

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

Only just started using them, so I'll come back to you on that one!

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Mostly my typos. I could fill a cook with those!

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

How long can you go without a tweet?

Oh, 24 hours. Then I start getting a fever.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

Going into Twitter rehab. Will be learning how to construct messages of 141 characters...

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes, but normally just because I was nearing my follow limit!

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

Twitter pics and HootSuite. But I've not used many yet.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Be yourself, and don't try and fit in with people just because you want to be loved. If you're not hip, that's fine.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

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

Hard to say. I can only really list types of people - writers, poets, artists, animal lovers, humanitarians, environmental peeps.

Paul Rance in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Not that I'm aware of. There's bigger Twitter addicts than me out there!
