How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I tweet the artists who receive and are featured in airplay after-the-fact, network in DM and timeline re airplay and live events.

Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter for creativity and reaching more people that I know personally. Facebook for reaching many more on the acquaintance level.

Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
The Kennedys www.kennedysmusic....
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
4=for 2=too. Don't do this. Or a one-word answer on timeline that no one understands the context of.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I won't name names. Anyone who has become dormant in convo to others and to me get unfollowed.
Why should we vote for you?
I create eclectic radio content, carry an open-hearted dry wit on air without ego and carry that personna on Twitter.

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#goodsamaritweeter : RT'ing tweets of people requesting info/assistance of other tweeters and their followers.
How do you make your tweets unique?
Responses to several current trending topics, usually with humor. Tweeting breaking relevant news about my radio show.
What inspires you to tweet?
The eccentricity of my world and the world around me...a good song, a great show, my radio updates. Something I can spin with humor.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Not yet!
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Seek/tweet your real-life friends first. Treat celebs and those with huge following with respect. Use common sense. Be real; no ego.
How long can you go without a tweet?
Two days.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
How do you envision using Twitter one year from now?
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Adding timelines that are easier to follow. Having DMs on same screen with timelines. How about Twitter Town Hall? Celebrity-hosted chat?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@rockisagirlsbestbff does public-relations. Savvy w/ audio/website links and the well placed #overheard that never fails to elicit a chortle.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
@AviWisnia. Recent tweet "i am ironing... ...cat hairs into my shirts."
9 Jan via web
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
One misconception is that people who tweet a lot a day are lazy; the belief that 140 characters is too limiting.
Why should people follow you?
Informative on indie/underground music that I spin. Reactive/original humor. RT's dudes/damsels in distress.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
How do you decide what to tweet?
I rely on common sense. I strive for information that others can use. I like to leave people thinking and sometimes guessing.
Why'd you start tweeting?
I forced myself to be more mobile. I joined once I saw enough of my friends and acquaintances join.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Twitter changes my sense of time. I check timeline 3-4 times a day to read tweets from the last 4 hours. I make new connections & friends
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Positive-oriented tweets appear to be at a minimum. There should be more of these.
How will the world change in the next year?
No apocalypse! Many of us who choose to wake up to our real selves will understand how and why we're connected beyond the Web.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Spelling. Not fact-checking who has a Twitter acct so your tweet doesn't go to someone that takes offense. Not knowing what belongs in DM.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Reversal of technology trends.. Advances in treating disease. Stronger support and voices for lowest social class. Gold/silver prices fall.
