The way the Facebook network is set up, it’s not as suitable for content discovery. Twitter is better, but there are too many over-sharers.

When I’m putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it’s helping me, my brain, you know, because it’s always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It’s great. My brain is very happy about it.

I have to say, I worry about Twitter. Not that it will survive – they don’t need my blessing for that – but that it will stay the kind of open, community-enhancing-and-enabling site that made it flourish at the outset.

On Twitter, if you want to quote someone else, you say, ‘RT, re-tweet, that person’s name, and then what they said before.’ And it’s a way of essentially saying, ‘I’m not saying this, but my friend said this and I thought this was interesting.’

Sadly, it seems as if there is no longer any real history. Just momentary reactions to events that disappear like sky-writing with items like Twitter, texts, Meerkat, Snapchat, and Instagram.

Perhaps the people of Twitter are more amenable to your babbling than your immediate family, but that doesn’t necessarily make digital communication a beneficial distraction when we have an immediate social environment.

Sometimes I’m happy – you can tell via Twitter. Sometimes I’m pissed off – you can tell via Twitter. I just think, at the end of the day, I don’t want them to see me as a celebrity; I just want them to see me and say, ‘He’s like a regular person at his job right now who’s mad.’

As anyone who follows me on Twitter will know, I’m fairly robust in my views on there. I get next to nothing in the way of trolling. Most women I know who regularly come close to expressing an opinion get trolled constantly. This is a men-on-women issue. Guys are pretty much doing it to the girls.

I’m worried about privacy – the companies out there gathering data on us, the stuff we do on Twitter, the publicly scrapeable stuff on Facebook. It’s amazing how much data there is out there on us. I’m worried that it can be abused and will be abused.

In the streets, they’re very nice. On Twitter, there are people who love to hate me. Sometimes people get mean. I tend to answer like, ‘Careful now, know who you’re dealing with…’ They’re like, ‘I’m sorry! Don’t send the Lord of Light after me!’ It’s fun to play with that.

The semiology and phenomenology of hashtaggery intrigues me. From what I understand, it all began very simply: on Twitter, hashtags – those little checkerboard marks that look like this # – were used to mark phrases or names, in order to make it easier to search for them among the zillions and zillions of tweets.

Twitter is awesome to share news with fans, but I would never choose to only have social media and put everything in my life on display.

There might be people who have never even tweeted before who are just working on their great American tweet. It will be so good that we’ll all have to stop Twitter right away. I would like to write the great American tweet. I don’t think the great American tweet has been written yet. We’d know.

I think that Shake Shack wouldn’t exist had it not been for Twitter. I don’t think you would have gotten a hundred New Yorkers to stand in line for an hour if they couldn’t have made their time really productive and organized snowball fights, ordered free hot chocolate, and, you know, Instagrammed photos.

I try to stay off Twitter.

Thanks to an immersive lifestyle that involves Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, we’ve created a psychological three-sided mirror for our social impact on others.

I feel really humbled because I decided to go on Twitter, and all of my fans on Twitter say one thing consistently every single day, and that is, ‘When are you coming back in movies?’ I didn’t even think people missed me that much.

Now we have so many more social outlets, so many ways to be stalked and bullied. If social media is too much for you to handle, then don’t have a Twitter or Facebook account. Just be yourself. Be who you want to be.

I’m not on Twitter or Facebook or anything. I just feel like my life is better without it.

I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network.

Once I found this possibility to use Twitter and Facebook and my blog to connect to my readers, I’m going to use it, to connect to them and to share thoughts that I cannot use in the book.

The most important thing is readers. I’ve got a huge Twitter following, but I don’t really think it sells books; I don’t think a huge Facebook following sells books – although these things aren’t bad, of course.

From the Twitter responses we got with ‘Best Friends Forever‘ and the small feedback we are getting as the show is meted out, I think people are seeing themselves in the show and enjoying seeing female friendship portrayed in the way it really is.

Twitter’s more fast-paced. Instagram, it’s more, like, lifestyle and posting very specific, cool pictures.

Twitter, to me, works if you’re funny. Twitter doesn’t work as a promotional tool unless you do it very, very, very occasionally.

My strong belief – in being in blogging before Twitter – is that in trying to create more information out there, in trying to create the democratization of media in general, is that the more voices there are out there then the likelihood is that the truth bubbles up to the top.

Generally, the view that I’ve had on Twitter is if you’re on Twitter, you’re in, like, the meme – you’re in meme war land. If you’re on Twitter, you’re in the arena. And so, essentially, if you attack me, it is therefore OK for me to attack back.

When I worked in theater, I was always writing things on Post-it Notes and sticking them on screens or desks. Twitter has given me a way of continuing to post those notes, only a lot of other people see them, too.

For the most part, I don’t have a Facebook page; I don’t Twitter.

I mean, do you really think Paul Krugman is checking his Twitter account every day to read what I write? Of course not. Every other day maybe, but not every day.

First, I thought Twitter was some kind of hybrid car being developed by Government Motors. Then I thought it was a new bite-size snack combining what’s best of the Frito and the Cheeto. Then I found out it was me. On a laptop. At the U.S. Open. Having fun.

Facebook, Twitter and Google have all opened offices in Brazil, recognizing the importance of localizing their products and customer service efforts.

If you have a native monetization system where the atomic unit of content is the ad unit, that scales down all the way to a small screen experience. That’s why Twitter is performing so well on mobile.

With the evolution of social media that includes blogging, Facebook, and Twitter, who and how information is delivered has changed tremendously. The landscape for news is a different place, and people have to accept that.

I don’t know if I’m a Twitter addict. That seems kind of harsh. I would say it’s more that I’m seriously involved. That it’s a long-term relationship – like a girlfriend, which my actual girlfriend loves to hear.

I think that Twitter and YT and blogs are keeping media more honest. Everyone can be a journalist now. Everyone is a fact checker.

A couple days ago, I saw a lot of people tweeting, ‘Oh, it’s so cool ‘Home’ is being used in the Olympics!’ We don’t really get to watch much TV, man, with the concerts every night, but I wish I could have seen it. I really just found out through Twitter and my management texting me. I thought it was really awesome.

Social media has shaken up the world of sales, with Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter offering new ways to hound leads and unprecedented insights into clients.

Speaking of Twitter, I don’t even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!

I post on Twitter regularly, and when I checked my followers, I saw that my own characters were following me. They sounded eerily like my characters would actually sound. It was a very surreal thing to see come to life digitally!

I see a lot of comments on Twitter and stuff about how ugly I am, how bad I am at the drums, how awkward I look, and I’m like, yeah, I agree with most of those things.

I think if you look down the road for Twitter, we would like to be a company – a service – that is used by billions of people around the world in every country in the world because we feel that the power of Twitter is that it brings people closer to each other, to their governments, to their heroes, etc.

Twitter has been my life’s work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what’s going on in them right now.

I love Twitter. As an entertainer, it’s a way to connect with the fans, and I think that’s important.

If I see something really nasty on Twitter, I will usually delete it or block the person because I don’t want to see that every day… Get to know me, and then you can talk about me!

I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there’s already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, ‘Really, one more?’ So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection – there’s no middle man muddling it up.

I was one of the first early Twitter users from the film fraternity. And back then in 2009, I thought I was going to enter a world where people liked me, knew me, knew my work – it was going to be fine! All about the love, not the hate. And it was. At first.

If you’re interested in expanding your network, you can’t go wrong with Twitter. You don’t need to be a celebrity to have fun and grow your network with Twitter.

That’s why I’m not on Twitter and don’t have an iPhone. It’s not because I’m superior to it: it’s because I would be a slave to it, and I don’t want that to happen.

Twitter is incredibly useful. It’s a great example of how the Internet is changing the way we engage with information and text. Above all else, this change in the nature of engagement is fascinating for me as a writer.

I have been a big fan of Coco Rocha’s for many, many years. I have seen her walk in runway shows, pose like no other in photo shoots, and naturally follow her every move on Twitter and Instagram.

We who curate our Twitter feeds and Facebook walls understand that at least part of what we’re doing publicly, ‘like’-ing what we like, is trying to separate ourselves from the herd.

‘What is Twitter?’ has always been a tough question to answer.

I love Twitter, but some people use profanity so much that at some point it’s like saying, ‘Pass the salt.’

For me it’s all just one big online world. Everyone has a favorite social network, and some people like YouTube more than Facebook or Twitter. But I make sure that when I post a new YouTube video, I post it on Facebook, and I tweet about it.

I understand Twitter much more than I understand Tumblr.

I write my own blog every day. I do the Twitter every day and the Facebook. Without a gap. I do everything myself: I load my own photographs; I sometimes take my own videos and post them.

The Web provides a very easy way to immediately grasp what’s going on. It really offers the transparency, so you can see, especially with the search engine, how people are using Twitter at one glance. The phone doesn’t allow for that.

If you’re an artist and you’re on Twitter, you are doomed to mediocrity.

During the Arab Spring, I learned all sorts of things from Twitter. I wouldn’t necessarily trust that information, but it gave me ideas about questions to ask. You can really learn things from the wisdom of crowds.

Before, revolutions used to have ideological names. They could be communist, they could be liberal, they could be fascist or Islamic. Now, the revolutions are called under the medium which is most used. You have Facebook revolutions, Twitter revolutions. The content doesn’t matter anymore – the problem is the media.

After I do my first writing of the day, I will generally look at Twitter and Google News – and that’s my big media secret. I look at Twitter and I look at Google because they pull all the headlines from other websites.

You take out an injunction against somebody or some organisation and immediately news of that injunction and the people involved and the story behind the injunction is in a legal-free world on Twitter and the Internet. It’s pointless.

I think when people twitter 20 or 30 times per day, that’s too much. They are boxing everyone else out, and people stop following them because they need a break.

Digital activism did not spring immaculately out of Twitter and Facebook. It’s been going on ever since blogs existed.

My sister‘s a singer, and she’s on Twitter, and she has millions of followers. I wonder how that helps her. I think it does to an extent. I think she gets free things.

All sorts of factors contribute to what Facebook or Twitter present in a feed, or what Google or Bing show us in search results. Our expectation is that those intermediaries will provide open conduits to others’ content and that the variables in their processes just help yield the information we find most relevant.

Our compulsive hunger always to know first, speak first and decide first has only been amplified by the fact that we can now all participate instantly in a virtual version of a national cocktail-party conversation on Twitter, Facebook and blogs.

Twitter is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Throughout the day, I frequently use my iPhone to check ‘Deadline Hollywood‘ and my Twitter feed, as well as the ‘Daily Beast,’ the ‘New York Times,’ ‘Metsblog,’ and ‘Thejetsblog.’

It’s a little bit of a ‘if you can’t beat ’em – join ’em’ mentality for me when I think about Twitter.

Some people really like to get into Twitter, but it’s not my thing.

I think there are a lot of really positive aspects to social media for novelists. Even though our work is pretty solitary, through Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook and Instagram and blogging in general, we’re better able to connect directly with readers.

The pressure used to wear on me. I was on Twitter a couple years ago, and I couldn’t handle it all that well. Don’t get me wrong, because 90% of the feedback you get is fantastic.

I don’t know how old my phone is, but it was only $10. It is a nice subconscious way of not having the Internet at your fingertips… e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.

I don’t look at negative comments because my parents and family don’t let me. My big sister controls my Instagram, and my big brother controls my Twitter. I also don’t really Google myself or anything like that.

I’m happy I have fans; obviously, they’re such great people. When I’m on Twitter and Facebook, they say such nice things that I really appreciate.

I am no technophobe. I like being able to calibrate communication, depending on the situation – texting for the simple and immediate; email for business or when I want to put some lag time into the exchange; Twitter to promote something; Facebook to draw a crowd.

I was convinced I’d hate Twitter – but I’ve come to like it very much. I use it mostly to keep in touch with friends and colleagues I wish I could see more often – I sometimes feel a little isolated living in Yorkshire, and it’s nice to have the contact.

If you don’t have a Facebook, like, you’re nobody. There’s all of these sort of requirements now, and if you don’t have all of these things – Facebook, Twitter, etc. – you’re made fun of. And Twitter for celebrities… everything is just getting so personal. Pictures of yourself, of what you’re eating for breakfast.

There’s pressure to come up with something genius every time. I feel like I keep letting myself down with my Twitter posts. I have to start keeping a journal of rough drafts of prophetic ideas about the world.

I go on Twitter and I ask my viewers, ‘What would you like to see next season in my line?’ or ‘What are things you love to wear?’ They’re the ones wearing it, so I want to make sure it applies to them.

Even though I knew my way around Facebook, Twitter terrified me. RT? OH? Hootsuite? Huh? My Twitter-savvy friends attempted to explain what a hashtag was, but, still mystified, I signed up for an online Twitter 101 class. Yes. I’m geeky like that.

Discounting the ineffably repetitive homophobic barbs that I receive most days, Twitter trolls’ most common gripe against me appears to be that I am ‘posh.’ Contrary to their unshakeable view, I was not born into the upstairs world.

I don’t know how many times I’ve turned to Twitter and Facebook to commiserate and celebrate, bounce ideas off of friends, colleagues and other entrepreneurs, and just connect with the wider world outside my office.

When you’re writing in big block paragraphs, you can afford to have a redundant sentence now and then, but the Twitter format requires concision.

Twitter is one of those dangerous toys that if it gets in the hands of the wrong person you’ll have the mind of a 12-year-old masquerading as an adult.

I’m glad that as a 33-year-old working mother, I can still choose to wear a Hello Kitty T-shirt or stay up late scrolling through the Twitter feed of my junior-high crush.

When I was first writing ‘Feed’ – which was the first book I published as Mira – I talked about it very openly on my blog, on Twitter, that I was writing this book, and it wasn’t until after it was sold that I said ‘Mira Grant’ wrote this book. And the reason there was really purely marketing-based.

Tribalism isn’t a bad thing. If you’re a Facebook user, or Twitter user or Foursquare user or LinkedIn user, those are all tribes… and they may even have sub-tribes. It’s not pejorative, it’s declarative.

I continue to shun, in a very curmudgeonly fashion, things like Twitter and Facebook.

One thing I like about Twitter is that you can hear it from the horse‘s mouth.

DMX wasn’t checking what his fans were saying to him on Twitter or Facebook. Jay-Z is on a boat in Saint-Tropez. I’m hands-on. Girls write to me like I’m their diary. That’s a huge responsibility. I don’t take it for granted.

Just because someone uses Twitter doesn’t mean they shouldn’t use WordPress, and vice versa.

I started doing a Twitter feed when my father was dying. I was very distracted, preoccupied. It was upsetting.

Twitter is the marriage of full-tilt narcissism and full-tilt voyeurism that has finally collided in 140 words.

There are people I’ve blocked for a long time who will still respond to every single person that replies positively to me on Twitter. I have quite a few cyber-stalkers like that.

I’m disappearing from twitter for a while. Need a break from the bile. Local prejudice just seems to bring out the worst in some people.

I’ve made sure to always update my web properties constantly – Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, my Hypebeast blog… making sure I divided content across all of them to keep each outlet fresh to keep people coming back.

I’m not going to go on Twitter and rant about something.

Twitter is an extension of every dumb thought I have, firing it off – Instagram is a little more methodical.

The biggest difference with Twitter and writing long form is you’re part of a virtual community where you know people, or think you know them, through their links.

The danger of the Internet is cocooning with the like-minded online – of sending an email or Twitter and confusing that with action – while the real corporate and military and government centers of power go right on.

2012 was the year I saw Twitter as a negative. More people need to realise that not everything they read is true and that Internet trolls are a real problem.

Twitter is almost novelistic.

Twitter is important, but it’s not more important than protecting your soul.

Twitter is an astounding platform for information, but it’s a total blank slate – which means it’s an astounding platform for disinformation, too.

I have a love-hate relationship with Twitter. There are moments I feel like 99 percent of the people who write stuff are the sweetest people, and then one crazy guy or girl spoils the whole thing.

I never had to do anything specific to craft my ‘image.’ I wanted people to know that I was a goofball, that I didn’t take myself too seriously, and that I love what I do. On my Twitter and Instagram, whenever I can, I try and show myself. I’m not trying to be an Instagram model.

I’ve gone to readings to see authors after meeting them on Twitter. And while there, I’ve found myself sitting next to still more writers who I met on Twitter, too.

With Facebook and Twitter, everyone wants to publicize their innermost truths.

Twitter could save a lot of money by writing its executives‘ names on their doors with pencil instead of fancy placards. Like an episode of ‘Suits,’ Twitter execs come, go, change jobs and disappear under black clouds every few minutes. Office administration costs must be astronomical!

I think Twitter is best when it sparks conversations elsewhere. To use YouTube and Facebook and all the tools we have available to us today to respond and also promote and answer and engage is awesome.
