The Shorty Interview
with Alex Tallitsch

What's your best tweet?
You're only as good as your last tweet.
What are six things you could never do without?
Coffee, Pizza Sticks, Internet, Family, Music, Tooth Paste
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
Twitter is my life. That's sad now that I think about it.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
I'm a pretty big TweetDeck guy, I like Echofon on my phone and iPad.
Twitter or Facebook?
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
What feature should Twitter add?
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
That's laziness on a whole different level. Seriously, you can't just type it out?
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Aaron Rodgers. Next question.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I unfollow a lot of people. People are annoying in general. For the most part anyway.
Why should we vote for you?
Because I roll old-school.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I can't tell you that.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
Justin Bieber wrapping paper.
What inspires you to tweet?
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
140 characters of advice for a new user?
How long can you go without a tweet?
Not very long at all.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
Would you like to vote from Facebook?
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Seductively at first, then a little faster, only showing the good stuff in moderation.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Again, I think @realfreemancbs is one of the best guys I follow.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it is the first place you go as an aspiring rapper.
Why should people follow you?
They don't have to, that's the beauty of it.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
How do you decide what to tweet?
It's a lengthy process with a lot of symbols and chemicals.
Why'd you start tweeting?
My friend @CitizenDino said it was a good idea.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes. I can eat food now.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
Hopefully somewhere private.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
That because I tweet you once you are my best friend.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Hopefully made more beautiful by the nice log cabin I built somewhere within reaching distance of Lambeau Field.
