Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter because it is more global in scope. It is an amazing way to channel your voice in today's hyper-connected and frenzied world.

Our followers, as well as knowing that we are helping raise public awareness on issues that may have been overlooked.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Heh, yes, and sometimes it results in unfollows, but we can't help it! There's just so much to say!

How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Focus on user-friendliness & simplicity. Twitter already has the tech-savvy, now attract other people who may not be as digitally fluent.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
It's a tie b/w Telecomix and EFF. Both use Twitter globally to promote safe Internet practices & raise awareness of critical privacy issues.

Love reading @reddit's latest tweets/posts, they always give us a good laugh.

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
A thousand times yes! It bridges global communication gaps and helps us understand the issues affecting not just us, but all global citizens.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Shift the focus from celebrities, gossip and materialism to (1) Identify X problem and (2) Collectively, what can we do about it?
How will the world change in the next year?
Continued unrest and widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo will lead to more protests and demonstrations, demanding more of our elected officials.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Making broad generalizations | Attacking a tweeter for 1 tweet without reading their timeline to get a better understanding of his/her worldview/position.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
