Tweeter of the Week: Michael Castilla from WPCandy!

 

November 23, 2008   Category: Interviews   View Comments

Based on the success of the twitter article by Eric Brantner last week I wanted to start a new feature on YGG, we are going to call it “tweeter of the week.” We are going to feature a bunch of great followers of YGG at least once a week, maybe more. If you are interested in being featured please find me on twitter by using the follow button near the bottom of the page and send me a message!

We are going to kick it off with a longtime friend of YGG, Michael Castilla from WPCandy. He has helped me get through a few WordPress issues in the past and saved me a lot of hair in the process! So here we go! I hope you like the interview and give him a follow as well! @michaelcastilla

What got you interested in Twitter?

Initially, I found out about Twitter via some blogs and from a few friends who were using the service. After a few days, I stopped tweeting because I thought it was lame and pointless. A few months passed, and my good friend Pasquale persuaded me to get back into it.

What do you like most about Twitter?

Hmm. What I like most about Twitter is the relationship I’ve built with my followers and the people I follow. In my eyes, we’re sort of an online family.

What program do you use to check Twitter and why?

Out of all the Mac apps I’ve tested out, I keep falling back to Twitterrific. I’m in love with it. It’s perfect for what I need and the interface is sleek and simple.

Name your five favourite people you are following right now. And let us know why they are your favourite!

I couldn’t think of 5 favorite followers, so here are a few:

Adelle Charles (adellecharles) - She’s a very active Twitterer and she loves to retweet useful links.

Tim Van Damme (maxvoltar) - He’s pretty funny and always has something interesting to share.

Daniel Brusilovsky (danielbru) - He’s so young and so active in the business world, it’s crazy.

And last but not least, why should people follow you?

Well, I tweet about the Web, WordPress, my some-what interesting life, and random stuff. I like to keep things interesting!
