What's your favorite Twitter app?
Seesmic and TweetDeck
Share on TwitterWhat was the funniest trend you've seen?
Oh geez there have been so many. Perhaps #LessAmbitiousMovies was my favorite.
What feature should Twitter add?
I like it just fine the way it is.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Teh awesome
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I've never unfollowed anyone. I've blocked a few spam bots but that's about it.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#DFSW for my magazine, Doctor Fantastique's Show of Wonders
How do you make your tweets unique?
By not trying to make them unique. I just tweet what comes into my head. If folks like it, then they like it.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Went most of a week once, but that was because I had a lot of work to do.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
How licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? I always wanted to know that.
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
I imagine it becoming a valid avenue for social discourse. The crowd-sourcing of it is a massive equalizer.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Mike Perschon, @steamscholar. He's always using Twitter to educate and entertain the Steampunk community.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That anyone can do it well. It takes skill to distill something into 140 characters and have it still be witty.
How do you decide what to tweet?
Depends on the day. Sometimes it's something I see on news sites, other times it's something cool that I've been linked to.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Seemed like fun; I didn't realize how much it would really suck me in.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Well it's given me contacts on four continents and access to some of the smartest people on the planet, so I'd say yes it has.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Not replying to people; the point of Twitter is to be engaged. Tweeting the same thing over and over is also a big one. Oh! And ad tweets
