with Univ of Florida
What's your best tweet?
The latest one. :)
What's your favorite Twitter app?
HootSuite, although the native Twitter app is quite good, too.
Twitter or Facebook?
Definitely both. We have different audiences on both platforms with different expectations. It's challenging and fun!
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
The word "brevity". It's already pretty short.
Why should we vote for you?
Vote @UFlorida bc we set the example of how #college Twitter accts should be run - we're informative, responsive and love our fans! #GoGators
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#GoGators would be nice. Also, we love when #UFGrad trends as our students are sharing graduation stories and photos.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
We haven't at this point. We try to space our content out so we're not overwhelming our followers.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's all fluff. We share research breakthroughs and communicate with fans - it's so much more than some people think.
Why'd you start tweeting?
We wanted the opportunity to engage, share and communicate with the Gator Nation. Twitter gives us a wonderful forum to connect!
