1. When @ replying, even if just to answer yes or no, how much of Twitter’s 140 character capacity do you utilize?

When @ replying, even if just to answer yes or no, how much of Twitter’s 140 character capacity do you utilize? I try to use as much of my 140-worth if I think it helps contribute to the context of the conversation

Only as much or as little as I need to get my point across

I believe less is more

I don’t really consciously think about it one way or the other

2. How do you feel about tweeting a lot of links?

How do you feel about tweeting a lot of links? I think it’s great – people rely on me to be their personal “link filter”

I like providing links, but I also like mixing it up with commentary

I avoid sending links – who needs more to click on and read?

3. When you disagree with another Twitter user’s tweet, do you tend to express your disagreement as a direct statement or in the form of a follow-up question?

When you disagree with another Twitter user’s tweet, do you tend to express your disagreement as a direct statement or in the form of a follow-up question? Send @ reply with a direct statement of disagreement but I try to be polite about it

Send @ reply with a direct statement of disagreement but I don’t care how I come across

Send @ reply with a follow-up question instead

None of the above -- I tend to avoid conflict

4. Which of the following best describes how you feel about users who tweet very controversial views & opinions but who hide behind public Twitter profiles with no bio or photo?

Which of the following best describes how you feel about users who tweet very controversial views & opinions but who hide behind public Twitter profiles with no bio or photo? If they want their opinions to truly matter, they should identify themselves

They can hide, but I’m less inclined to want to validate or retweet them

It doesn’t bother me; everyone’s entitled to their opinions and their privacy

5. What’s your opinion of people who “tweavesdrop” (Twitter users who randomly insert themselves into conversations you’re having with others)?

What’s your opinion of people who “tweavesdrop” (Twitter users who randomly insert themselves into conversations you’re having with others)? I don’t like it -- I think it’s rude when random people join my conversations

If they have something worthwhile to contribute, I don’t mind.

I encourage it -- it’s a great way to connect with other interested Twitter users
