The Shorty Interview
with Tom Crabtree

What's your best tweet?
What kind of question is this? That's like asking which of my children is my favorite.
What are six things you could never do without?
My family, sports, music, tacos, Breaking Bad, and do I have to say Twitter/Social Media?
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I tweet after games so people know if we won or lost. And I let them know how excited I am to start my day and workout.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter or Facebook?
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Probably that one about Justing Bieber! It was so FUNNY lol!!!!
What feature should Twitter add?
Maybe something where you post all kinds of pictures of food, cute dogs, clothes and sunsets.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Does Al Roker have one? If not, definitely Al Roker.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Probably "sophisticated" because I've never seen anyone do it and I don't think you'd know what I'd mean by "sphstctd".
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Yes. Leonardo DiCaprio. He's an actor.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes because they are Leonardo DiCaprio and they never RT me.
Why should we vote for you?
Same reason you should follow me.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
Justin Bieber retweeted me one time. No joke. That makes me really cool and interesting.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How do you make your tweets unique?
I tweet them from my own unique account.
What inspires you to tweet?
Something as small as my pug, Charlie, farting or as big as winning a professional sports match.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes. My wife tells me I tweet too much.
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Don't post any nudie pics of yourself or others.
How long can you go without a tweet?
I've had a month long hiatus before but I lost a lot of weight and wasn't a happy person.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
None. This is a little too in depth already.
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
I imagine it becoming reality eventually and we will all live in little pods of goo like the Matrix.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Probably @TacoBell. They don't mess around on Twitter. It's a lot of food related tweets. Specifically Taco Bell.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That everyone on there is "cool".
Why should people follow you?
Because I am so interesting/funny/cool/hip/awesome/neat/different/exciting/egotistical/smart/happy/positive/fun/wonderful/pretty
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
If I didn't name Rob Delaney here then I have failed humanity. @RobDelaney
How do you decide what to tweet?
I ask my wife to sign off on my tweets first because she is so smart.
How do you use social media to motivate yourself or others to live a healthier life?
I follow Taco Bell on Twitter so I can stay up to date on all their latest nutrition tips.
How has social media helped bring your family closer together and #keepgoodgoing?
We are so much happier and more alive now that we stare at our phones and computers TOGETHER for hours upon hours.
Why'd you start tweeting?
To interact with the Packers fan base and check up on celebs I care about like Martha Stewart.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes. I don't go outside as much as I used to so my skin is very pale now.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Follow me and tell me how funny I am.
How will the world change in the next year?
At least 2 new iPhones will be released.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Definitely self-promotion for awards, accolades etc. Also mixing up how to use "there" and "their".
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
At least 20 new iPhones will have been released.
