What's your best tweet?
I thought this one was pretty witty :) - "It's almost year of the #snake! How will you be s-s-s-pending #Chinesenewyear?"
Share on TwitterWhat are six things you could never do without?
My laptop, my phone, my cat, my friends, Chinese food and Spongebob
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
Twitter IS my professional life :)
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Hootsuite - it's sometimes useful to schedule tweets!
Twitter or Facebook?
Ask me a few months ago, I would have said Facebook, but Twitter is just too much fun once you get into it!
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
#bane - when the superbowl lost power. Ha!
What feature should Twitter add?
The ability to see more in-depth analysis of statistics!
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Do the deceased count? Marco Polo
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
with & without (never use 'w' or 'w/o). Because is because, not b/c !!!
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Stephen Fry - the king of Twitter and my personal hero!
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Only a couple of accounts - because they turned out to be fake. One of which was a Rowan Atkinson impersonator :(
Why should we vote for you?
Because we're tweeting from China (do you have any idea how hard that is?!) and because we are honest, responsible and genuine.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Eric Weiss @ZombieRiot - posts weird horror-related stuff. Very interesting!
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#dosomethingamazing
How do you make your tweets unique?
Write them all manually - don't drum out the same toot every day! Provide links to new and original content and ask direct questions!
What inspires you to tweet?
I love giving others the opportunity to experience the same amazingness I did when I came to China.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
I may have lost a few followers because of too much tweeting - I get so caught up in those community chats #TTOT
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Don't spam, get involved, retweet, be yourself and above all - don't take it too seriously!
How long can you go without a tweet?
I start getting twitchy if it's been more than a day.
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Twitter will adapt and change to whatever new social media environment we find ourselves drifting into - but it will always stay simple!
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@oreo - GENIUS campaigners!
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
@raykwong - very topical humour!
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's a basic version of Facebook - it's not - it's so much more than just "140 characters".
Why should people follow you?
Because we rarely post sales stuff - we are more interested in learning about the travel community and promoting responsible travel
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
@traveldudes - those guys are super cool
How do you decide what to tweet?
Mostly spontaneous - whenever inspiration hits.
How do you use social media to motivate yourself or others to live a healthier life?
We often post about healthy living - our organisation are big on CSR!
Why'd you start tweeting?
Because I'm a sucker for 'recent trends' and I LOVE the internet.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
It's a major source of procrastination... It's made me realize how effective social media can be at bringing strangers together.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Get involved with Community chats! People need to expand outside of just their friendship groups!
How will the world change in the next year?
It's impossible to tell. Social media trends change far too quickly to predict. The Chinese app 'Wechat' is looking pretty hot right now...
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Retweeting someone without mentioning them - it's so annoying! (Should be a legal offense)
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
VERY different. Phones will get smaller, computers will get faster and hopefully I'll have a hover-board.
