The Shorty Interview
with Jeremy Bray
What's your best tweet?
I would say all of them but that is cheating...I would say any tweet that I can help people with tech stuff.
What are six things you could never do without?
The six things I could never do without would be my laptop, internet, my Kindle, my phone, my PS3, and pizza.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I use it to plug my latest podcasts or blog posts in hopes of gaining a larger audience.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
TweetDeck is my favorite app but I am liking what I see with the new Seesmic for Windows app.
Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter, but it really depends on the use.
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
I can't say I have noticed any funny trends but I find it interesting how many different accounts some people will have.
What feature should Twitter add?
I would love to see Twitter implement a feature that could tell @ messages from email addresses.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
I wish Rachel McAdams had a Twitter feed.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
I will shorten anything I can as long as it still makes sense so I can make my tweet less than 140 chars.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
I would love to be followed by @Alyssa_Milano
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I have unfollowed many people, typically for either tweeting way too much or just being a stream of automated tweets with nobody behind it.
Why should we vote for you?
You should vote for me because I tweet high quality tech information. From news to helpful tips, I tweet it all!
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
I would love to see my podcast trending on Twitter but I fear that will never happen.
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I have made connections with the members of a girl band that I loved listening to growing up.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
I often include a short comment about my opinion on whatever it is that I am tweeting.
What inspires you to tweet?
Helping people out and passing along interesting information is what inspires me to tweet.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Nope. I have never had a complaint about how much I tweet. Sometimes people would like me to tweet more though.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Watch how others use twitter and get value from it and then pick the method that you find most valuable and stick with it.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Sometimes I can go a day at most without tweeting but that is very rare.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
I would have to say that I admire @jason the most for his use of Twitter. It is very inspiring.
Why'd you start tweeting?
I started tweeting as another way to be in contact with online friends, very different from how I now use Twitter.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
It has changed my life. Now I have thousands of people who I can share life experiences with and help me through problems when I have them.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Interact with their followers and people they follow.
How will the world change in the next year?
I think the TV will start to get our attention back now that it will start to have more of the functions of a computer.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Tweeting more than 5 times in 30 seconds really irritates me as do people who don't interact with their followers.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
If I could see that far into the future, I would be using my crystal ball to get lottery numbers.
