January 27, 2009

2. What was your biggest obstacle in twitter?

Figuring out how to follow a conversation.

I tweet about three times a day and have it scheduled because I can’t always be sure I will have time to do it.

Don’t follow everyone. Make lists of your favorite people and focus first on interacting with them as you start out.

#fail because it’s funny although I don’t use it too much.

6. Did you have a twitter mentor? How did that come about?

Not really; I’ve been winging Twitter as I go.

7. Can you recommend a twitter account that we should be following?

@the_lame_sauce and @badbanana I just love the funny tweets from them.
