Why did you start Tweeting?

Took a ‘social media’ class through the Scottsdale Chamber and decided to try Twitter as a way to engage others in conversations about Sassi, wine and restaurants.

What do you never Tweet about?

Same rule that I follow with restaurant staff and customers: Nothing about sex, politics or religion.  My Tweets are mostly about wine, restaurants and cycling or triathlon.

What Tweet has generated the most response?

Our recent Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence”.

What is the strangest place you've Tweeted from?

Inside an enormous vegetable cooler at Palmisano Brothers Produce. I sent a Tweet about some heirloom red corn that they had just received.

How do you choose who you follow?

Usually a mention in anotherTweet or a Retweet that looks interesting.

iPhone or BlackBerry?

Neither. Palm.
