The Shorty Interview
with New York Nightlife

What's your best tweet?
Probably the one about you haven't seen yet.
What are six things you could never do without?
People, Clubs, News, Openings, Closings, Change.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I'm not real, remember?
What's your favorite Twitter app?
No apps, just Mobile Web.
Twitter or Facebook?
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Not the funniest by any stretch, but news-wise, we had #Juliet trending after the shooting inside. Outside of DJs, nightlife rarely trends.
What feature should Twitter add?
Allow people to grant access to DM back and forth without both parties following each other.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
I'd rather answer "Who do you wish didn't have a Twitter feed?"
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?
No body in particular. I'd rather have one person following who engages and is interested in nightlife than a celebrity I never hear from.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Not so much after I settled to my original 7 person following. I added 3 others in 2011. Not looking to unfollow anybody.
Why should we vote for you?
Because I keep it real.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Interviewing @MarcBenecke
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
I don't talk out of my ass.
What inspires you to tweet?
Knowing people care about nightlife.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
140 characters of advice for a new user?
People are more interested in you than you know.
How long can you go without a tweet?
If there is news to share, no more than a few seconds. Otherwise, a few hours.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
"Can we get you a drink?"
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
In its monetization as well as the user's monetization of a following. More space to properly advertise perhaps.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Anybody who makes a difference in somebody else's life, no matter how big or small.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
All of them in different ways.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That having a Facebook is just as good.
Why should people follow you?
To help build the fastest nightlife news source.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
How do you decide what to tweet?
The streets, the blogs, the people.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Because a following showed interest.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Robots. All over the place.
