The Shorty Interview
with Amanda MacArthur

What's your favorite Twitter app?
I manage about fifteen Twitter accounts, so Hootsuite pretty much gets me through the day.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter. There are less characters available for people to make asses out of themselves.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Every good restaurant I've ever been to. It hurts me to not be able to tweet the crap out of a good meal.

Why should we vote for you?
Because I met my fiance on Twitter, have gotten most of my clients through Twitter, and gosh-darnit people like me!

How do you make your tweets unique?
I try to include as many other people in my tweets as possible. I'd rather be a resource of good stuff to try than a firehose of me, me, me.

140 characters of advice for a new user?
Follow people who you think are cool, and immediately respond to something in their feed. Twitter is nothing without 2-way conversations.

What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's either for lunch photos or self-marketing. There's plenty of both, but there's also a really neat community too.

Why'd you start tweeting?
I attended the Web 2.0 conference in 2007, saw tweets being streamed live on the screen, and wanted to get on the screen too!
