The Shorty Interview
with Dilma Bolada

What's your best tweet?
What are six things you could never do without?
Food, air, love, my family, my friends and my cell phone.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
The fame of "tough" the first woman to become president of Brazil and the good humor and sarcasm that Brazilians have.
Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter to talk things faster, comment about events of the day-to-day presidency. Facebook to release large text, photos, and polls!
What feature should Twitter add?
I wish we could put favorite tweets highlighted at the top of the timeline.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
The sound bite! I think the catchphrases created and phrases that involve them must not contain abbreviations because they are as a mark of the character.
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
With all the success and impact of Dilma Bolada, I ended up having very prominent in all the press and becoming a reference in humor, so it almost unanimously. By consequence, many famous, influential people, politicians like what I do. I have contact with these people but indirectly.
What inspires you to tweet?
The President Rousseff and the Brazilian people. I love them!
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Be original, do not ask to be followed and not worry about winning followers. This is the consequence of good tweets!
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Everyone who aims to take quality content to their followers. Artists that make it one more channel of communication with fans, journalists who are always bringing us news, the politicians that use to inform and listen to the people, etc..
Why should people follow you?
Because I am the Queen of Americas, I'm the Sovereign of Southern Hemisphere. I'm beautiful, I'm diva, I'm President. I AM DILMA!
Why'd you start tweeting?
To have fun and entertain people.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
I think so. I met many people through Twitter, I made great friends and got a job up! I think that Twitter gave me and still giving me great moments!
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
I hope people produce quality content. Content anyone can do, but good content is different. We need to reinvent ourselves daily.
How will the world change in the next year?
I believe we will have world more confident with new perspectives in the economic field, especially in the European Union and Latin America.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Several people from Brazil and all of the world, including famous and influential people, think I'm really the President Dilma.
