Twitter or Facebook?
Both! Twitter & facebook are different enough to serve different purposes. They allow for different modes of communication & interaction.

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
We unfollow people for tweeting about hate and intolerance. Life is too short for that kind of negative energy.

We try to raise the visibility of gamers, developers, & tech geeks, all while having fun. We're especially supportive of the gamin' ladies!;)

We haven't created many hashtags, but it'd be cool to see some gamer comments used as hashtags, such as #gg for good game used sarcastically
How do you make your tweets unique?
The fact that there are 7 of us all potentially tweeting from one account makes for an interesting multiple personality tweet flow.

We're inspired to tweet when we see things that we want other people to know about, such as funny links, contests, gaming tips, etc.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Sometimes, especially since we have a whole team supplying tweets sometimes. We try to limit ourselves to no more than 1 tweet per hour.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
1) find new people to follow by looking at the @ replies of those you respect; 2) remember that tweets are public! Twitter isn't for secrets

As a team we sometimes travel to super busy events that leave us utterly exhausted & Tweeted-out. We might take a couple days to recover.

Lately, @Alyssa_Milano has been fantastic about using her Twitter account to rally support for relief efforts in Haiti.

Twitter was the easiest and fastest way to update people on fun happenings and news from game industry events and conventions.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Twitter is a fantastic way to show your support, and @s are a particularly great way to tell someone you love them. Do more!

The tablet craze may change how much time people spend on their laptops, which may impact how tech integrates into our lives. We'll see!
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Spamming one's followers every 5 minutes isn't cool. No one has entertaining or enlightening things to say every 5 minutes.
