The Shorty Interview
with Paulo Teixeira

What's your best tweet?
All of ones I wrote!
What are six things you could never do without?
Without what? Internet connection? Updating my posts, reading news, watch the clock, see how my friends are doing, playing games and chat.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
All the time. Except for eight hours, because I'm human and I need to sleep!
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
The funniest was #mussumalive. He was a Brazilizan comedian that died 15 years ago. For me, watching it was an excellent tribute for him.
What feature should Twitter add?
Don't know, for now. I like it how it is.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Hmmm... several friends of mine.
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?
I don't think a lot about it. I'm the type of guy who goes with the flow.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I don't need that. Just don't awnser back.
Why should we vote for you?
First... English is not my native language, Politics is not my number one subject, and I'm a good guy.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
Formula 1, Rally and Dakar.
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
There are some. Especially the real ones.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
My favourite was when Michael Schumacher returned. #SchumacherIsBack was awesome to me, at the time. And I'm not a fan!
How do you make your tweets unique?
Just being myself. And the blog posts helps, also.
What inspires you to tweet?
Motorsports, Humor, and live-time news. Oh, and my blog. I alert everyone when a new one is ready.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
140 characters of advice for a new user?
How long can you go without a tweet?
A couple of hours will do just fine.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
What can you contribuite with your twitts?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Besides me?... LOL! Errr... Some of the real guys.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Not much. Just got more people to see my blog, my writings.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Continue to comunicate. But don't forget what's behind. Mails, blogs, letters with stamps, postcards. They can be very 20th Century, but...
How will the world change in the next year?
Not much, I'm afraid...
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Didn't make any. For now!
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
More tech, I think. And a bit more cleaner, I hope.
