Listorious Interview

What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?

Foster social change and stop talking about where they just peed.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Never. People tell me I don't tweet enough.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

To bring much needed hope, inspiration, information, education, humor and personal interest stories to my community.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What question are we not asking here that we should?

Does Twitter represent the end of the world as we know it?

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

All of the news on cancer these days talks about how far we've come but very little if any of it applies to the young adult community.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What inspires you to tweet?

Personal stories. Compelling content. Irritating and stupid news. My own life's isssues (I'm going to be a father soon)

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

My wife. My health. My friends. My family. The Internet. Apple, Inc.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

I spin the heck out of often depressing and ridiculous health stories into humorous and inquisitive leads, hoping to inspire and educate.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

It has given me the opportunity to cast a wider net for the advocacy of the young adult cancer movement and connect so many in need.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

It was another way to deliver value, hope, inspiration, education and humor to an entirely ignored segment of the cancer population.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What feature should Twitter add?

They've already added all the features I wanted them to.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Putting the link before the text.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

When my wife and I announced to the world that we're having twins, a boy and a girl. Hundreds of re-tweets.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

Yes. Because they were a crazy stalker who shall remain anonymous.

Matthew Zachary in response to Listorious

140 characters of advice for a new user?

Twitter, like anything else, is a social utility. It can be used for good or for evil; but it's all about delivering meaningful value.
