What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
Both. They are so different yet great tools.
What feature should Twitter add?
A tool to better filter followers and learn who isn't following you back etc. The linear list is hard to manage.

Bob Willard - an amazing expert and wealth of knowledge in business and sustainability.
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've never thought about it that way...I don't know! More families who need help with sustainability in their homes.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes I have - I usually unfollow people who come across as not genuine and not interested in what I'm tweeting about.
Why should we vote for you?

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

All of the Mom's out there blogging about creating healthy families. I felt honored when Simple Shoes followed me b/c I love what they do!

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Tweet smart and add value. I don't care if you are getting your hair done or woke up with a hangover.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Not a day - I try anyway!
What question are we not asking here that we should?
What do you think Twitter actually is? (make sure to provide a bottle of wine for discussion!)
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Continuing to grow. It's like a giant web and will continue to add more and more hubs and connection points.

Anyone using it to promote the creation of a sustainable society.

Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
How do you decide what to tweet?
I tweet things that I would be interested in reading/knowing. My commitment is to add value to the Twitter space.
Why'd you start tweeting?
To be as connected as possible with my business and share my knowledge and connections.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
It's shown me how many cool people are out there doing world changing things and allowed me to stay connected to them!
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
I feel that as we connect more and more, we become a force of change. The lever is getting bigger and bigger.....
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Including me in feeds I have nothing to do with. Publicly shaming people for unfollowing you. It's a free world.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Powered by decentralized renewable energy sources. More connected to Nature and hopefully a more sustainable society.
