Sue Lynn @ Bangsar bAbE
Can you describe yourself in 140 characters.
Ambitious, narcissistic, talkative, animated and did I mention I make a damn good Kahlua chocolate cake?
Righhhttt ... so, how did you start Twittering?
My friend @meishum persuaded me to try it. I ended up tweeting more than she does!
What do you Tweet about?
What to eat, where to eat and who to eat with of course! And also my blog updates, thoughts, accomplishments, happenings, interesting quotes ...
Do you even bother with ReTweeting?
I usually RT when I'm replying to someone's tweet. I like to RT funny statements, interesting links and new restaurant openings.
And where do you Tweet from?
At the office, during lunch and coffee breaks.
That's all? How often do you Tweet then?
Every day. I tweet and catch up with friends via their tweets.
You're a popular blogger. How has Twitter affected that?
I use Twitter to inform others about my latest blog entries and current status. Instead of SMS-ing or calling, I now tweet my friends to find out what their plans are for the evening. So economical, no?
You've been entering beauty pageants, how does Twitter help you with
your campaigns?
I used Twitter to garner more votes in the Miss World Malaysia 2009’s subsidiary title – Miss Popular. I believe (coupled with my blog and support from my friends and family) it helped me win that title.
What kind of role do you see Twitter playing in helping you achieve your goals?
Hopefully, Twitter can further increase my blog readership and popularity. Then maybe some TV director would take notice of my potential and give me a food hosting gig.
And are you busy with any projects at the moment?
My food columns, blog updates, a bit of modelling and my day job. I try to make time to catch up with friends over good shisha at least once a week. Oh, and occasionally turning the kitchen upside down in the pretext of baking a very good cake!
Let's get some Twitter tips. What should you never Tweet about?
Don't tweet about how much you hate your job/boss (your future employer might be your Twitter follower), petty fights with your partner or when you're taking a dump. Seriously, no one gives a shit.
Ooohh funny! Alright then, what is the most controversial Tweet you've seen?
I once read this tweet from a criminal who was running away from the cops, and he was tweeting on the run! LOL
What are your thoughts on Twitter in general?
I used to think it was for those "si fatt hun" (itchy backside) people, until I tried it and got hooked! Now, try taking Twitter away from me, and we'll see who gets hurt ...
How many followers do you have and is it enough?
I have 233 followers, and NO, it's not enough. So people, pretty please, follow meee!!!
Well, convince us. Why should we follow you?
*puppy eyes* Because I’m adorable? No seriously, I’m quite a personality!
