The Shorty Interview
with Cuddly Corey™

What's your best tweet?
"Good morning everyone! I hope you all have a great nite! (hugs)"
What are six things you could never do without?
1. George, my dog. 2. My friends. 3. Twitter 4. My "pooter" 5. Wrestling 6. You :)
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
Professional life? What is that? LOL
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Hmmm...Its a tie between TwitPic and TwitVid.
Twitter or Facebook?
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
The funniest had to be BeiberFever
What feature should Twitter add?
I think Twitter should allow better customization.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
I wish Aerosmith or Steven Tyler did
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@Ricky_Martin...OMGawd!
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes. But, mostly spambots.
Why should we vote for you?
Umm...Cause you love me? :)
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#WorldPeaceIsUponUS ;)
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I've "connected" with some celebrities, that I have only dreamed of talking too. If only for a, "Hey, how are ya?" :D
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
I hashtag them with something different. I also add *hugs* to them :)
What inspires you to tweet?
If just one of my tweets makes it to the eyes of someone and they get a smile out them...Then, that's what it's all about :) #Hugs
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes. But, it was an old lady who started following me because I said the word, bingo once. *giggling*
140 characters of advice for a new user?
You need to follow the right people! Use hashtags. Reply and RT people to get your name out there. Be you.
How long can you go without a tweet?
What question are we not asking here that we should?
My favorite hobby? (taking pictures, even though I'm not that good at it)
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
It will become more mainstream that it already is...Maybe even longer than 140 characters?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
I like the way @TheEllenShow uses her Twitter account to connect with the fans and to post interesting things!
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
The funniest would be either @DaneCook or @RobDelaney
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That you need a mobile device in order to have fun.
Why should people follow you?
You should follow me, because I am cuddly and give #hugs :)
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
One of kind hug? Hmm...that's a tough one. Let me get back to you on that one.
How do you decide what to tweet?
I just let it flow! :)
Why'd you start tweeting?
Cause I was bored of Facebook.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
I wouldn't say changed by life, like some Epic thing. But, it has brought me closer to the world :)
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
The world will change in the next year, because I am in it :) My domination of Twitter is imminent! Mwaaa haaa haaa...chokes.....HA!
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
The new Twitter display is way too large for us to put any type of background up.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
I think it will pretty much be the same as it now...just with more techno gadgets :)
