Don't be shy! Just imagine everyone who is reading this in their underwear.
1. How do you use Twitter?
2. Who is your favorite person on Twitter and why?
I use twitter for up-to-date worldwide news, the happenings of the Princeton area, promoting events for other local businesses, connecting to photographers, seamstresses, friends, local businesses, and celebrities.
It would be a hard one to pick my favorite person! I do love @fastcompany. Always great tweets from them.

1. I use twitter for news and photography tips/news/sharing. Twitter has proven useful to me as a collaboration tool, also, although Facebook is my main tool for that. And also, as an almost-real-time chat tool without the pressure of real IM. Tweetdeck makes that really easy when on the computer. I love to keep tabs on what friends/contacts are doing, because it can serve as conversation pieces and guides when putting together photograph ideas and what-not. Many of my contacts use Twitter as a brain-vomit place, where Facebook is more of a business presence.
2. Well, Skip Cohen/Scott Bourne are up there; Rolando Gomez is climbing. I just started following PhotoDivaLV, too, and that is starting to show some promise with respect to news, etc. And there's Katrin Eismann...Jasmine Star is nice for humor and make-me-smile moments...so many to choose from! :)

1-Fotofafa has grown solely by word-of-mouth. When good things are worth talking about, Twitterees have spread the word about us. We tweet about testimonials, promos, workshops, and anything good about the industry. We love the photography industry! Everyone is so open and willing to share the "good stuff", they trust each other! Fotofafa has been on the receiving end....we are very grateful for this. Twitter is a must in the photography industry.
2-We follow too many peeps to narrow is down to our favs.
But if we had to say it would probably be....lbobi & JeffRodgers :)
