It is now one minute to the first ever FLASH Interview. Get a beer. Pull up a chair. This is live. We don't know what is going to happen.
WillBevis WillBevis
Are you ready interviewee?
WillBevis WillBevis
Oh, yeah, the interviewee is hanging me out to dry!
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Sorry, your tweets weren't showing up on my feed! I blame the time difference. And Australian beer.
WillBevis WillBevis
OK, I think we are finally ready to begin. The interviewee has finally showed up. He is in Australia and I am in Alabama...
WillBevis WillBevis
Ladies and gentlemen - the first flash interview known to mankind on Facebook - I give you VizProd - better known as Andy.
WillBevis WillBevis
Uh, say hi, Andy.
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis (Psst! It might help if you mention me in your Tweets!)
WillBevis WillBevis
Or, uh, don't. There seems to be a huge transmission time gap between the Aussies and us.
WillBevis WillBevis
@Vizprod OK, Andy, you have lived on five continents, right? My first question is WHY? Isn't one good enough?
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Well, how do you know your place is the best if you've never been anywhere else?
WillBevis WillBevis
Man, this is giving me a helll of a lot of time to think about my next question!
WillBevis WillBevis
Because we're AMERIKUNS, that's why. I think. Hey, don't answer a question with a question. I'm the interviewer!
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Good point! I guess I never thought about it like that. Hey, I guess that means I can come home now!
WillBevis WillBevis
OK, Andy I've got my next question. Do you think there is a spam bot writers us on twitter, that just keeps on plugging their books, always?
WillBevis WillBevis
N@Vizprod No you can't come home now. Not til you clean up all the koala bear mess. Then tell us. We'll let you know.
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis I wouldn't be surprised. I saw one guy linking a site that offered thousands of Twitter followers for a dollar amount.
WillBevis WillBevis
I think you could yell out, Hey! Twitter is on fire!" and the spam bots would keep on plugging their books, cause the writer is in Malibu.
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Ahh, Malibu. That sounds nice. Hmm, I wonder how hard it is to set up one of those spambots....
WillBevis WillBevis
Let's try an experiment during this interview. I'll pick someone and you pick someone and just ask them. Are you alive? Or are you a robot?
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Alright, I'm going to try this Charles Bivona guy.
WillBevis WillBevis
@Vizprod Ready, go! @ihavehope Dear Ms. Hope, are you alive and tweeting, or are you using some kind of product promoting mesaging device?
WillBevis WillBevis
Here's another, a great person I have talked to. But is she really here tonight? Or just her promoting bot:
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@CharlesBivona Are you alive, or are you a robot. This is important. It's for science. Or something.
WillBevis WillBevis
Melissa_Foster - are you really here tonight.?
WillBevis WillBevis
@Vizprod Oh my God! Are you getting the feeling we are the onlly two people actually alive here?
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis I am now....
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Either that or everyone just thinks we're jerks.
WillBevis WillBevis
*Twitcleaner Are you there? Are you real? Your post sounds real!
CharlesBivona Charles Bivona
I live. =)
WillBevis WillBevis
I think twit might be our last hope!
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@CharlesBivona @WillBevis He's alive!!!
CharlesBivona Charles Bivona
Was there some doubt?
WillBevis WillBevis
Andy, just like the guy who invented peanut butter but was trying for hair spray. We tried something, and discovered something else!
WillBevis WillBevis
I don't think that's it, cause one of them surely would have said by now, "Hey! You're jerks!"
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@CharlesBivona Will seems to think there's a scourge of spambots on Twitter. I just picked you at random to see if you'd respond. You did!
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Would they? Or would they just keep ignoring us in the hope that we'd go away...
WillBevis WillBevis
The big question is now - how can we get in on this action! Where can we buy the robo promotion planting software?????
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Ah, but the price, you see, is your immortal soul. And $19.99 a month. I checked.
WillBevis WillBevis
Look at the posts, Andy. It's ALL about promotion! It's a machine! And everyone here has one but us. @Vizprod
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis But not @CharlesBivona. He's real. I checked.
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Ever read 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'? Twitter is the Combine.
VizProd Andy Christofferson
Wait, do cuckoos tweet?
WillBevis WillBevis
Andy @Vizprod We have seen the future. It is machines placing promos. And they don't read other promos. Twitter must surely know about this
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis I did get a personal response from NYT Bestselling author Harlan Coben once. That was cool. Or a very sophisticated bot.
WillBevis WillBevis
OK, are you ready to exit the space ship? Three. Two. One. Now escaping the twits of the bots. See you back on messages.
CharlesBivona Charles Bivona
Happy to help. =)
VizProd Andy Christofferson
@WillBevis Alright. That was fun. For us anyway. Don't know about anyone else.
