The editor at New Matilda emailed asking for max 140 character answers for a piece. Not sure it’s really crowdsourcing when you get contributors for contribs, but NM’s one of the original online magazines in a rapidly expanding field. Here’s what I sent in.
Where are the best fish and chips near you?
Fishface serves up fish+chips for a pricey $15 on Darlinghurst Road, but it’s totally worth it.
Will this be your first tweeted festive season?
I’m tweeting my way through the ham, pudding and prawns season for the third time on Friday. But it’s friends/fam/eating/drinking, not tweeting.
What’s the best Christmas present Twitter could give you?
An easy way of managing multiple accounts?
Followers: quantity or quality?
Talking followers at xmas seems oddly appropriate – I’m happy both ways, if someone decides to follow my tweets, they’re quality in my book.
What is your favourite season-appropriate song?
I love doing xmas specials on my radio shows and have songs well and truly stockpiled. @wayneandwax’s heavy remix-mas is a fave.
It’s Christmas Night. You turn on the TV. What movie should be broadcast?
Flying High, Spinal Tap, Weekend at Bernie’s? Short attention span, a little stupid and definitely no xmas theme.
What is your attitude to office Christmas parties?
Office party a la Mad Men, with loads of booze, good looking colleagues and maybe a small fork lift? Yes, keen on those.
In 140 characters or less, what is the future of journalism?
“The future’s already here, it’s just unevenly distributed” (from @williamgibson)
If the Walkleys had a best tweeter category, who would you nominate?
The best tweeters are disarmingly frank, insightful, entertaining; @vasilikaliman is all that and deliciously bitchy about the art world.
Who is your favourite tweep?
It’s not so much the specific tweeters, but the back and forth collective flow of ideas. It’s all about scenes/community, you know?
Read the final cut, Twitter For World Governor 2010: 20 Questions, and now The Twitterati Speaks: 20 Questions at New Matilda. BTW I’m @fortunegrey.
