Here goes an interview with Mani Karthik, a blogger, a SEO consultant and much more. Have a big load of followers(friends 
) on twitter and i always love to read the links that he shared. And met him personally too in Chennai’s Searchcamp a year back. @ManiKarthik
1. Introduce yourself briefly?
Mani Karthik, pro blogger, seo consultant and social media-holic from cochin, Kerala.
2. Since when are you tweeting and what do you tweet about more frequently?
I’d joined twitter back in 2007, but thrashed it for being a time waster. I was anti-twitter first, but later found that it could be fun, and have never left it.
3. Which other social networks/microblogging sites do you use apart
from Twitter?
I’m pretty much on every social network. Some for trials some because they are fun. I’m on FB, SU, Reddit, Digg and the like, not necessarily in that order.
4. How many accounts do you have on twitter?
5. You feel twitter has a good future or its going to be a spam-bay
like Myspace?
Not at all. Twitter is the way things will be. Spam is fortunately on controllable limit on twitter. But Twitter is what the future is, every network will convert to twitter style conversations and every social app will revolve around twitter. Its the new revolution in my opinion.
6. Have you made real-life friends from twitter? and met them personally?
I’m connected with most of the Indian bloggers, and have met most of them offline prior to twitter.
7. How can u say one’s addicted to twitter?
When you’re writing an email address, you fill your user name after the @ sign.
8. Which twitter clients do you use? Which is your favorite?
I’ve been using Twhirl, Seesmic and testing a few others regularly, but Tweetdeck is my fav, like it is for milions.
9. What’s life for you without twitter?
It would be boring. Twitter is part of my work, so I dont think I can go without it, its more important than email to me.
10. Do you tweet first or check mails or read the newspaper when you wake up?
Check mails and RSS feeds of course. No newspaper.
11. Do you worry if someone unfollowed you?
Not at all, in fact that’s the fun thing about twitter. I unfollow many people daily and recommend others to unfollow me if they think the tweets are not helping them in any way.
12. Do you follow every follower? Or have any criteria of following people?
Almost all but I do it on a regular basis, like every week. So between that time you’ll find me not following the recent followers.
13. Indian tweeps activity in twitter. Any views about this?
India is sure brewing up with activity, lots of it. The twitter community is on a steady growth phase where more and more celebrities and companies are jumping in. I won’t be surprised to see more tweeps from India to penetrate the top 100 twitter elite.
12. Who are the 5 best tweeps u suggest to follow?
@Jason_Pollock, @Alyssa_Milano, @Phaoloo, @Kim and @Zaibatsu
