The Shorty Interview
with Melissa

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
It's a great way to keep an eye on the pulse of things. Plus, often breaking news hits twitter before websites or inboxes.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
Depends on what you're trying to do and which audience I'm reaching out to.
Why should we vote for you?
What inspires you to tweet?
The world around me. Puppies. Kittens. Rainbows.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
How long can you go without a tweet?
Depends. If I'm busy it could be hours between tweets. If I'm not busy, bored, or procrastinating, once every few minutes.
Why should people follow you?
Hopefully because I'm amusing. I try to mix up my tweets between random, my life, my dog, my house, and back to random.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
@BlizzardPeople, West Wing Characters, @oatmeal
How do you decide what to tweet?
Usually it's random thoughts. Sometimes it's snark I can't say out loud.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
I've connected with the #rads, and found a new way to be connected to the world around me.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Not engage in too much self-promotion. A little is good but there is a line. Be aware of the line. Respect the line.
