The Shorty Interview
with Kingsley

What's your best tweet?
I tweet song lyrics better than anyone else on this planet.
What are six things you could never do without?
Twitter, CHINESE FOOD, curtains, global warming pamphlets, Paris Hilton's weave and burnt toast.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
What professional life?
What's your favorite Twitter app?
TweetDeck just so happens to be epic.
Twitter or Facebook?
TWITTER!! Facebook is starting to get boring. Twitter is taking over. Facebook will be the new MySpace soon = IRRELEVANT.
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Niley. It's a long story, but basically all these tweens were going out of control about Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. It was epic.
What feature should Twitter add?
The feature to comment on RTs when you click the button. Sometimes I have something to say, ya dig?
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
I wish Beyonce actually used her fucking Twitter.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
WTF. Refusing to shorten a word on Twitter should be illegal. I need every inch of that 140 limit. I shorten words to DEATH.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@chelsealately Just so I can fool myself into thinking she gives a shit what I'm doing.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I had to unfollow this one crazy bitch who kept DM-ing me nudes.
Why should we vote for you?
I love Twitter and my followers think I'm amusing, which leads me to think I'm amusing, which obviously means that you should agree.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I followed Jesus Christ.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#obeseburrito It makes no sense, but dammit, if you knew where it came from, you'd tweet it too.
How do you make your tweets unique?
They are unique because they come from my head. Which nobody else can duplicate. Unless, of course, they RT.
What inspires you to tweet?
My followers. I love talking to them and entertaining them.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
HELL YES. Especially during awards shows, I tweet like it's crack.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
y0uR lyk3 t0ta11y lyk3 st00p1d 1f y0u, lyk3, tw33t 11k3 th1s. k?
How long can you go without a tweet?
What question are we not asking here that we should?
I don't know, but you shouldn't have asked that.
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Before or after December 21st, 2012?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
I admire @justinbieber most BECAUSE he uses Twitter to talk to his fans as well as inform them. Not just posting random ass updates.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
Definitely @big_ben_clock - BONG BONG BONG BONG
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
There are no misconceptions of Twitter. Everyone thinks Twitter is flawless and it is. THEREFORE... this question is irrelevant.
Why should people follow you?
Um... they shouldn't. Unless they think I'm funny.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
Motherfucking Britney Spears.
How do you decide what to tweet?
There is no decision process, I just tweet. Which is why my tweets are usually ridiculous. I also tweet when I'm drunk. Which is not good.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Well, I make YouTube videos and everyone was like GET A TWITTER. You do the math.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
I am no longer bored at night when I can't fall asleep.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
Kanye West will rule us all with DONDA.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Faux pas is a big word and I don't feel like going on dictionary.com
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
The dinosaurs are coming back.
