Something to block the bots.

Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Hmmm... I don't think so.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes- many people. I don't remember who they are. But I unfollow people who tweet things that are intolerant.

How do you make your tweets unique?
I take my phone with me when I run, walk and bike and tweet live pictures of all the interesting things I see.
What inspires you to tweet?
A beautiful run-- mine or someone else's.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Be open to the possibilities. Have real conversations. Meet real people. Make new friends.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Is this a challenge?
What question are we not asking here that we should?
How can we help?
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Not sure. I really love Twitter as it is. It's my #1 discovery of the last year.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@AdamBraun - Always #ForPurpose.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
@GSElevator- Funny because it's true. Reminds me of the world I used to live in-- and why I'll never go back. Still hilarious, though.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That people are just tweeting about what they had for breakfast.
Why should people follow you?
Because we are changing the world.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
@su2c, @joinred, @autismspeaks, @feedingamerica, @wwpinc, @dosomething, @pencilsofpromis, @charitywater, @michaeljfoxorg
How do you decide what to tweet?
Can I inspire/inform/help/entertain someone else? Can I contribute to the community? Can I learn something? Can I build a relationship?
How do you use social media to motivate yourself or others to live a healthier life?
Um, we're Charity Miles... that's what we do. We enable and inspire people to earn money for charity when they walk, run or bike.
How has social media helped bring your family closer together and #keepgoodgoing?
Since I founded Charity Miles, my whole family has gotten involved. My mom even has a twitter account now. We all do Charity Miles every day.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Thought it was necessary for a social media business. I was right. But I didn't really understand how awesome it is.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Absolutely. I've personally met and become friends with so many people through twitter. We've even gotten corporate sponsorships.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Be open to possibilities that you might actually meet someone cool.
How will the world change in the next year?
A better question is: How will we change it? We will have earned more than $1M for some of the world's top high-impact charities.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Being inauthentic. Would you say that as a real person, in a real conversation with a real friend?
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
A lot healthier, cleaner, fairer and more peaceful.
