How do you decide what to tweet?
I use Twitter and my other online communication streams - blog posts, comments, web sites - in a manner far more nuanced than making announcements. One of my uses is to challenge and ask questions - especially the ones on the margin - and with a bit of edge as a style. My foundational themes are about careers and finding your way to living a life of significance; the power of young people to be engaged in and change the society; and, the power of critical thinking.
I am have also been known to focus on elements of spectator experience rather than the actual event itself. (I always decide that there are enough people who will write and talk about the event or activity.) When I engage the online environment, I look for what I believe are cutting edge and innovative “things” – improvisation in the conventional and inspiration in the ordinary. Online, I am also known to be colorful, questioning, enigmatic, and a bit of a trash-talker who invites responses.
Why'd you start tweeting?
To try it all out and to connect with folks.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
It's made me more observant.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
There should be less fear.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Tweeting too much about the inconsequential
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
We'll all be older.
