What's your best tweet?
For your consideration: #nitTWITS. Best Webshow. Shorty Awards. Vote here: http://shortyaward... WE NEED YOU.
Share on TwitterWhat are six things you could never do without?
1. Laughing. 2. Twitter. 3. A good camera. 4. #nitTWITS cast. 5. #nitTWITS crew. 6. Supportive fans.
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
This is probably starting to feel redundant, but all of our creative content and videos are based on funny tweets. We use it everyday!
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Favstar. It's a dirty, narcissistic drug but we love it.
Twitter or Facebook?
We love Twitter because we think it's the world's biggest and funniest writing room, but we have a Facebook page too.
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
#GiraffeOnRollerblades
What feature should Twitter add?
We'd be thrilled to see Twitter add a more comprehensive media section where we could have a separate page for all of our videos.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Our parents so they understood what we do for a living for once!
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
I'm pregnant; Marry me; I think I want a divorce.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@Alyssa_Milano. She's on the Real-Time Academy and we'd love to do a #nitTWITS with her.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
The show, @nitTWITStv, never has, but some individual members on our team have because we're human and have stupid human feelings.
Why should we vote for you?
We feel that we're a funny and prime example of people producing short content on social media. Without Twitter, we wouldn't exist.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#nitTWITS - it's our namesake!
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Co-creators @XMASWARMACHINE and @AmberTozer met over Twitter before they met in person and developed our show.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
The name of the show - #nitTWITS - incorporates a hashtag, so we wish everyone used it! But #nitTWITS4ShortyAward would be even better!
How do you make your tweets unique?
We don't, but the hilarious people on Twitter that contribute their tweets as a basis for our show do. They have so much original content!
What inspires you to tweet?
Funny personalities on Twitter. We have a blast working with people to help their tweets come to life!
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Our parents, pretty much every holiday we spend with them.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Tweet something funny for us to turn into a sketch!
How long can you go without a tweet?
Our co-creators and contributors can't go a day without tweeting, but we tweet a few times a week when we post videos or have news.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
If you had to assemble an All-Cute Team on Twitter, who would be on it?
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
We think the ability to upload and exploit media on Twitter will evolve into something more like a viral video site, such as Youtube.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@tracy_marq! She's dark, edgy, and REALLY funny, which is why we chose to do our very first video with her. She's a #nitTWITS pilgrim!
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
Impossible question to answer! We love everyone who has and is contributing to the show. But one of our fav sketches is @DannyZuker's.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's just a crappy version of Facebook. It's a completely different system and, in our opinion, a funnier community to be a part of.
Why should people follow you?
We like to think that bringing funny people's tweets they already follow to life is something they'd like to see! Also we're not racists.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
Our co-creators are @XMASWARMACHINE and @AmberTozer. They're big weirdos, so that probably makes them one-of-a-kind.
How do you decide what to tweet?
We work with all types of funny personalities on Twitter to turn their hilarious tweets into videos. Then we tweet links to each sketch.
Why'd you start tweeting?
Co-creators @XMASWARMACHINE and @AmberTozer thought there was a lack of Twitter-based media despite so much hilarious brilliance. TA-DA!
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Absolutely. Our jobs depend on Twitter - without it and the funny people using it, we wouldn't exist. It's the quintessence of our show.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Retweet funny people that are under-followed.
How will the world change in the next year?
#nitTWITS will win a Shorty Award, primarily because we're not racists but also because people like laughing at us.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Plagiarism. BOO THAT.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Hopefully still able to ask this question.
