The Shorty Interview
with Dave Saunders
What's your best tweet?
"Antidisestablishmentarianism" is NOT the longest word in English language. "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" is.
What are six things you could never do without?
Food, water, shelter, bourbon, sex and hair gel.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
As an aphrodisiac. Seriuosly, it warms up people and puts them in the mood...to do business.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
Easy. Twitter. (when do I get the "tough" questions?)
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
What feature should Twitter add?
a bulk direct message delete button
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Most of my competitors in the advertising business.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Advertisements. I never call them ads.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@aplusk (aka Ashton Kutcher). He's so dreamy.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Hundreds of people, robots and people who act like robots. Why? For using Twitterfeed or some other RSS feed to spam their followers.
Why should we vote for you?
I'm real. Sometimes funny. Sometimes serious. Sometimes controversial, but always 100% real.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Wow there's @ladygaga @deepakchopra and @schwarzenegger, but my most interesting connection was @mchammer (he's a judge right?)
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
By not ripping off others.
What inspires you to tweet?
My love of people and desire to communicate directly with them...(btw, I was being serious on this one)
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes, by my wife. Frequently. I'm addicted.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Listen more and talk less. Learn the lingo and jump right in. It's like riding a bike...
How long can you go without a tweet?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@barackobama for how he used Twitter and other social media platforms to inspire, educate, engage and enthrall an entire nation.
Why'd you start tweeting?
..because I have ADD and it seemed like therapy.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Arguments with my wife take no more than 140 characters now........and my cell phone bill went through the roof.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
How will the world change in the next year?
Social media will make it smaller. And perhaps better.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Being a twitter snob and not following anyone back (see@oprah)
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
