The Shorty Interview
with Bettina Forbes
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
Connect with awesome, inspiring moms and all the movers & shakers in the #breastfeeding world, keep up with #bfing news
Twitter or Facebook?
Both! But spend more time on Twitter, because it's easier to see what moms are saying about #breastfeeding and #boobytraps
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Great breastfeeding celebs like Kelly Rutherford. Great companies: My Brest Friend has a cute name & product but is missing out on the buzz.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Why should we vote for you?
#Breastfeeding is a hot issue! We are changing it up & ending stupid boob vs bottle & mommy wars. We cheer on all moms! http://bit.ly/PO9P...
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
@phdinparenting and a thousand amazing, interesting, inspiring #MOMS!
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#boobytraps: the cultural & institutional barriers keeping moms from making informed decisions & achieving personal #breastfeeding goals
How do you make your tweets unique?
W/o judgment, we tweet about what boobs were made for--not just to sell cars & kitchen tiles--and how to beat the #booby traps and feel fab!
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
only by my DH. The guy is awesome and a saint to listen to me rant about boobs non-stop AND fund the start-up of our non-profit.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Be the media. Be respectful, be generous & gracious; thank for RTs & RT good tweets. Set time limits on tweeting (still working on that!)
How long can you go without a tweet?
Why'd you start tweeting?
@that_danielle, founder of Celebrity Baby Blog (@CBBVIPS) suggested it. CBB gets 10 mil/mo.; we want same for #breastfeeding cause
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Gives us a pulse on #breastfeeding news/issues; & help moms beat the #boobytraps; & cheer on, coach and celebrate ALL moms to achieve goals!
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
RTing without checking that the link/website remains intact.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
#Breastfeeding will be celebrated and supported everywhere like it is in Mongolia. http://bit.ly/5ybb...
