Live WTF Twitter-view this Thursday.
May 5th, 2009
On Thursday, May 07, at 11am PST I will be doing an interview with my publishers, the incredible folks at Peachpit.
But this isn’t a normal interview, this is a Twitterview. The interview will be conducted on Twitter so you have two days to get up to speed on Twitter if you’re not yet on it. They will ask questions – deep, deep, probing questions of a complex nature – 140 characters at a time. And I will provide answers – profound answers with sagacious insight – 140 characters at a time. Should be alot of fun, AND there’s a chance to win a copy of my book, WITHIN THE FRAME. So here’s the details.
The interview will be between @peachpit and @pixelatedimage, so if you’re using an application like Tweetdeck, just create a group with only these two peeps in it and you’ll be able to watch the tweets roll by.
We’ll be using #tags so the thread can be followed that way too. Find us using #WTF_QA
The interview will take place “live” at 11 a.m. PST. That’s 2pm EST/New York time and 7pm GMT/London time, I believe.
This is an interactive kind of thing and while I’ll only be answering questions asked by @peachpit, you can submit them ahead of time. Send questions in advance to @peachpit. They’ll pick five questions at random, and if yours is chosen, you’ll get a free copy of the book!
See you on Thursday!
I just adore @peachpit and @peachpittv . They are just great people. I am Looking forward to Thursday.
lookin’ forward to it!
This is 6pm German time – and a good reason for an early quitting time on Thursday
Looking forward to it!
Way to be ahead of the curve. Breaking new grounds in a big way here. I’ll sure try and get in on it.
David, I would have chosen a different way to shorten “Within the Frame”; WTF means something very different for most people on the web,
@Taylor: You’re right. Perhaps FTW (frame the within), which could also stand for “for the win”…
@David: This is a neat promotion. Also, “a lot” is two words…(You wrote “Should be alot of fun”)
@Eugene. In Canada the correct spelling is “alot”, one word. No, not really. We also throw in another “L” and a “U” so it’s “allout”
My wife nags me about this too, I’m a habitual offender.
How about WTF FTW!
Sounds like allout of fun.
I would be really excited if I only knew what “sagacious insight” was.
Yes, I like WTF FTW!!
Darn it…the cash job is getting in the way of this sexy stuff again! I guess I will read all about it later in the day

Help a newb out. How best to submit the question? Direct message? Send the message @peachpit so that everyone can see it? Do we tag with #WTF_QA?
Thanks for the inspiration!
Good luck tomorrow. I know the 140 characters or less will be the biggest challenge..;)
