The Shorty Interview
with Amy Vernon

What's your best tweet?
yeah, it's just the excrement part that puts it over the top. I do my hunting in the bacon section of the supermarket
What are six things you could never do without?
Bacon, my husband, my two sons, an Internet connection, the Fox network when 24's on the air.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I've sometimes had questions about tools or apps and have just sent out the query to the Twitterverse in general, getting many responses.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
I am the Bacon Queen.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@MargaretAtwood. Because I more or less worship the ground she walks on. Literally my favorite author of all time.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Why should we vote for you?
I am known far and wide as the Bacon Queen.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
Bacon, Jack_Bauer, 24
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I've made some honest-to-goodness new friends through Twitter.
How do you make your tweets unique?
I try to make my tweets reflect my personality, which is, I believe, rather unique.
What inspires you to tweet?
Bacon. Also, just cool news, videos, photos or anything else that strikes my fancy. But especially bacon.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
A couple of times when I've live-tweeted an event, I've gotten some comments, but most people are understanding when I explain.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Be yourself. Unless you're a jerk.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Why'd you start tweeting?
I'm a social media addict and so had to give it a whirl.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
I wouldn't say it's changed my life so much as enriched it. I enjoy my interactions here.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Sending white teeth, MLM or other such spam. Also, being rude.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
If I knew that, I'd be rich. That said, hopefully bacon-scented.
