The Shorty Interview
with Bloomfield College

What's your best tweet?
Anytime we reply to a student who just announced they were accepted, those are always the best tweets.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
This is the Official Twitter Account of Bloomfield College
What's your favorite Twitter app?
We love Twuffer, so that we can schedule tweets about upcoming events for nighttime when we're sleeping
Twitter or Facebook?
A healthy mix of both
What feature should Twitter add?
We'd loooooove to see some great in-site metrics...
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
All of our academic divisions! They know their content the best, and it's a great way to engage students!
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Bloomfield College, Accepted Students, Attention Students, and Deadline!
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Our goal is to have all students who attend Bloomfield College that have Twitter following us. We're getting there!
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Every so often we go through and weed out dead accounts. If you've got an egg and haven't tweeted in 2 years, then sorry!
Why should we vote for you?
Because "BC is the Place to Be!"
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#BloomfieldCollegeIsAwesomeBecause
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Every time a newly accepted student posts his or her accept certificate and mentions us, that's the BEST connection!
How do you make your tweets unique?
We relate them directly to our students. We tweet about the things that are important to them and give them shout outs when appropriate!
What inspires you to tweet?
Keeping our students engaged and informed is the most important reason why we tweet!
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
We actually recently got some props from our students for stepping up our Social Media presence!
140 characters of advice for a new user?
How long can you go without a tweet?
We try to tweet between 1-3 times a day, but we do live tweet during big campus events! So usually no longer than a weekend!
What question are we not asking here that we should?
What is the meaning of life?
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
As it grows and shapes a generation of students, we must evolve and change with it. Only time will tell...
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
All of our students who have professional, engaging, and thought provoking Tweets.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
Our VP of EM, @AdamCastroEdu, has some good ones!
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's complicated or that it invades privacy. It's not and it doesn't! As with all social media, you get out of it what you put into it!
Why should people follow you?
It's a great resource to know (almost) everything going on at Bloomfield College!
How do you decide what to tweet?
Mostly campus events & reminders, but also congrats to newly accepted students & retweets of fun shout-outs! We want to speak to everyone!
How do you use social media to motivate yourself or others to live a healthier life?
Our Wellness Center provides some great programming that we tweet about on a regular basis.
Why'd you start tweeting?
To engage our students and provide a resource for information
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
We can now reach students on a medium that they use and are connected to! Students don't go to offices to ask questions, they ask Twitter!
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Tweet positive things instead of always negativity.
How will the world change in the next year?
Bloomfield College will continue to grow and educate amazing students!
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Using so many abbreviations and slang terms that no one knows what on Earth you're talking about
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Hopefully a more understanding and thoughtful place
