What are six things you could never do without?
My camera. Extra batteries. My external hard drive. My laptop. My blackberry. A serious sense of humor.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
My "professional" alter ego posts updates about my photos and videos on youtube & flickr. Oh, you meant my "real" professional life? Hm.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter...basically because my attention span has degraded to the point where this is the most I can
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Really I'm just annoyed (and rather depressed) when I click on interesting trending topics and the people posting to them are morons.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What feature should Twitter add?
Haha..yes. "I would like to a feature called "Unfollow with Benefits" where I just get the good stuff from people I would otherwise unfollow.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Sara Quin, because I think the inside of her head must be the most fascinating place in the world...
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
"You" and "are" will ALWAYS be "you" and "are." Always. Gah.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes... I just couldn't stand hearing anymore about how their new girlfriend of the month was the NICEST, SWEETEST, HOTTEST THING EVVEEERRR!!!
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Why should we vote for you?
Because if you want me to keep up the photos and videos I need constant positive reinforcement. ;P
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
All 500-some of the crazy people who care about the pointless things I post every day just because they love my Tegan and Sara videos. ;)
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How do you make your tweets unique?
I make sure each one has a delicate blend of humor and honesty sufficient to outweigh the crazy.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What inspires you to tweet?
Probably the need to make connections, and the comforting knowledge that there are actually people out there listening.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Errrr, yes. But come on, Monkey and Noodle were soooo worth it.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Reply to your friends. It makes them feel loved. ;)
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How long can you go without a tweet?
However long I'm in a country where I can't get to twitter via my phone. Ha.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@amandapalmer, hands down. She's made the Twitterverse what it is to me today. ;)
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes. Now I am even less productive than I used to be.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
I wish people would share more of the random and interesting things they see and hear every day... especially inside their heads. Lol.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How will the world change in the next year?
I foresee crazy things, like YouTube finally letting me alphabetize all of my playlists (!!!!)
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Sending as an @reply something that was supposed to be a DM. Whhoooops...
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Hopefully it will be unfathomable. Like, a place where I'm married and have a real job.
