Twitter User of The Week

When I look at the list of people who have been suggested to me for Twitter User Of The Week, I look for those people who are either leaders on Twitter or who have proven to be rising stars.  @BuzzEdition is someone who knows how to use Twitter and who I see as a definite leader.  Susan uses Twitter to share her knowledge and expertise of Social Media without losing touch of who she is or her friends.  It is hard to find quality people on Twitter who provide quality information and great personality.

As you can see, Susan also has a loyal Twitter following:

Twitter User Of The Week Questions:

@fjfonseca recommended you to be Twitter User Of The Week, what do you think of him?

Fernando is an absolute sweetheart! One of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. And funny too! Ask him about his blooper real he did once, it made me laugh out loud.  http://www.bitrebels.com/social/its-about-you-you-and-you/

How do you use Twitter/What do you use Twitter for?

I use Twitter for fun and for business, but what I enjoy the most about Twitter is the people I meet daily. From laughing over stupid jokes to sharing amazing articles to just finding out new things about my friends, for me it’s all fun.

If you had the opportunity, what would you do improve Twitter?

Get rid of the new RT system first and foremost. I sincerely hate it, and the lack of editing and adding in the personalities of the people who choose to RT is something I truly detest. Second I would love to have access to the suspend button and help Twitter out with ridding our world of these spammers.

What do you like to do when you are not connected to the internet?

That’s kind of a silly question because I am literally always connected to the internet. I do enjoy movies, music and spending time with my family.

What is your favorite website to visit other than Twitter, and why?

I sincerely enjoy StumbleUpon. I could spend hours surfing the web and checking out some of the best content the internet has to offer. Of course technically that’s visiting more than one website, however the Stumble users pick the best content from all websites which saves me lots of time and energy.

What is your favorite Laffy Taffy Joke (One-liner joke)?

A man walks into a bar. Ouch.

What is a question to which you would answer: “D. All of the above”? And, what are A, B, & C?

What is the purpose of Social Media?
A. To interact, engage and share information with people you know.
B. To interact, engage and share with people outside your circle.
C. To build relationships between businesses and people.
D. All of the above

What is the first thing you do in the morning?

Coffee…then Twitter…

What would you do if you had a time machine?

Sell it to those guys over at “Lost” because they need it more than I do. In reference to my life though, I would not change a thing. The bad and good memories and experiences have made me who I am, and I like me.

What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more people COULD know?

That I do not open up and trust easily, so when I cross that line and become friends with someone, I cherish them.

What song lyric sums up your life thus far?

From Alanis Morissette and the song “Ironic”:
A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic…dontcha think
A little too ironic…and yeah I really do think…
It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought…it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

What is the one thing that gets you out of bed every morning?

The desire to learn and interact. The joy of another hug from my child or grandchildren. My friends.

If you weren’t doing what you are doing for a profession, what would you be doing?

I actually love what I am doing now. Of course I have lots of “professions”, but my favorite responsibilities include anything that involves interacting with people.

What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn so far in your life?

That people are not always what they appear to be, but they do show you who they are eventually. It’s your job to pay attention when they do.

What’s an idea you have that, if implemented, could change the world?

I would not tackle any idea to change the entire world, my goal is to encourage and engage my little part of it, and hopefully change a few lives along the way.

What drives you nuts?

People who ask me if I ever sleep, when it’s obvious that I do. People that are mean to others.

What actor or actress would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts, both have strong personalities, are family oriented and love to have fun.

What super power would you like to have?

To be invisible. Much easier to find out interesting secrets that way!

What question would you add to this list and what is your answer to it?

What attracts you to social media over traditional media?
The people.

Who should I write about in future weeks, and why?

I think Ben Parr (@BenParr), Ray Beckerman (@RayBeckerman) and Muhammad Saleem (@Msaleem) are very interesting people that others would enjoy.
