Q5 When did you start using Twitter and how were you introduced to it?
2007 </ p>

Q6 What are the main reasons you use Twitter (e.g. business, marketing, fun, community etc)?
Fun, experience and to help publicise my blog, learn from other users especially health, informatics, education and Drupal. The former for professional resources and the latter to assist with developing a new website.

Q7 What aspects of Twitter do you love?
85 Brevity, great source of information.

Q8 85and dislike (if any)?
The compulsion to tweet at conferences.

Q9 If you could make changes to Twitter what would they be?

Q10 What Twitter apps do you use to Tweet from?
(e.g. main Twitter site/ Twitterriffic / Tweetdeck etc)
Main twitter site, with new PC will check other methods

Q11 What are your criteria for following someone?

Their speciality, last tweet, location, interest and expertise.

Q12 What type of behaviour would make you unfollow someone?
Repeating the same tweet, purely commercial.

Q13 What tips do you have for newbies?
Tweet! Invest time for learning, there are many tutorials online.
These are also targeted for specific users, e.g. teachers. See if a friend is on twitter or join together.

Q14 A0 How do you find new people to= follow (e.g. Twellow , Summize, friends of friends etc)?
Often through a tweet or specific li= sting as per most recently The Chronicle for Higher Education.

Q15 A0 Qwitter 96 do you use it? If someone unfollows you do you reciprocate?
No don’t use Qwitter – but will check it out. Every so often I prune the number of people I follow
Q16 If you agree that Twitter should be monetized do you have any suggestions how?
I don’t think it should be monetized, but discrete ads may be ok? Otherwise could number of tweets be used?

Q17 A0 Who do you enjoy following the most?
No specific favourites – NHS, Nursing, CSS, jQuery, Drupal…

Q18 How do you see the future of Twitter?
Good question, not sure, perhaps twitter will become one part of people’s internet person a integrated into their ‘home page’. For commercial users of twitter if they (continue) to emerge the real estate they give to twitter will be reflected on their virtual desktop. The lists are a key development, actually newbies would do well to get used to these too.
