I love Instagram – I don’t actually go on Twitter and tweet; I just connect it through my Instagram account. I think it’s a good way of getting stuff out there and connecting with people.
I don’t tweet or do any other social media, so I don’t know what’s being said out there.
Sometimes I’ll write a tweet that I’ll just be like, ‘Why do I have to say this to all of these people?’ It’s like writing a Facebook status: it’s the same. I view tweeting as like writing a Facebook status. Remember when we used to write statuses?
I’m on Twitter. I love Twitter because I’m kind of voyeuristic. I don’t tweet, but I look at other people’s.
I’ll read tweets that people will tweet at me from time to time, but I try not to read too much about it, because you just never know what’s going to end up influencing you.
I’m not on Facebook, and I don’t tweet, but I know plenty of people who love both.
There’s an entire universe in every single tweet, and it all really depends on the content as far as how it’s going to spread.
Usually what goes through my mind before I hit the tweet button is, did I misspell or mis-grammatize anything, but also, is this worth polluting the interwebs with for posterity?
When you’re travelling, your day is jam-packed. I just don’t have time to whip out a PC all the time. But I can whip out a BlackBerry and tweet. I keep a constant diary of where I’m at and why I’m there.
In our quest to tweet, like, and trend, we have forgotten that brands can be built through advertising. Ads can generate big ideas that can never be trumped by tactics. That is the magic of an ad, and that is what is missing from many ads today.
You’re an actor first and foremost. No one is going to hire you because you tweet a lot.
I have a tweet that said, ‘I want to be a Calvin Klein model,’ and that was in 2011. And then I modeled for Calvin Klein. And then I had a tweet like, ‘I wonder what it’s like to be in front of thousands of fans,’ and I’ve been in front of thousands of fans.
People feel they can just pass judgement with a tweet or with a comment and then you’re supposed to change your life for them. I can’t worry about what some phantom individual online has to say about me.
Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don’t want to be left behind.
It’s even rougher for the kids today because they have social media – it’s as if they’re being interviewed every moment of the day even when they’re just interviewing themselves, putting out a tweet or an Instagram post.
The digital team who were running Twitter, they weren’t just going to put out a tweet for fun. They’re going to try and figure out how do we measure the impact. Then they’d tweet it, and if it worked, great.
Typing with your fingers or thumbs is sooooo 2012. I tweeted that earlier in the year. I type with my eyes. Not only that, I navigate my computer, create and play music, keep a calendar, conference call, lead web X meetings, text and, obviously, tweet with my eyes.
So much of my life is not about work and that is usually mainly what I do tweet about. We live a very quiet life.
Every time I would tweet something about crypto it would go viral.
I read Twitter all the time, even though I rarely tweet.
A tweet is fast. But everything about policy change is very slow. And a lot of us are impatient.
I like to tweet out nutrition research because I did my bachelor of science degree in dietetics.
We’re well past the end of the century when time, for the first time, curved, bent, slipped, flash forwarded, and flashed back yet still kept rolling along. We know it all now, with our thoughts traveling at the speed of a tweet, our 140 characters in search of a paragraph. We’re post-history. We’re post-mystery.
If you’re stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don’t be dumb. If you’re going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home – which I did a lot of.
I’ve heard people on panels say, ‘You must have a Web site. You need to tweet. Repeat the title of your book constantly,’ and I just want to say, ‘Shut up. Everything you’re saying is wrong.’ People will know instantly if your only motivation for tweeting is to sell books.
I love Twitter. My favorite thing to do these days is to tweet things that seem very questionable as to whether I’m joking or not.
So I have people who tweet and ask me, ‘You can’t be this happy all the time. You can’t be this cheerful.’ Well, yes I am. From where I’ve come from and my family and what I see as real struggles in day to day life, through my reporting. I’m never going to look at challenges.
One look at an email can rob you of 15 minutes of focus. One call on your cell phone, one tweet, one instant message can destroy your schedule, forcing you to move meetings, or blow off really important things, like love, and friendship.
I don’t check Twitter as much or tweet as often because, honestly, sometimes social media is draining and brings out all of the negative things going on.
If you hit the table after missing a ball, you get fined. If you swear, you get fined. You can’t even tweet what you’re thinking without getting fined. Players can’t show their personality and therefore fans can’t relate to them.
I think expressing yourself and working hard can’t help but have great results. Look at Zach Galifanakis. He didn’t tweet. He didn’t have a podcast. He just went out and did the funniest standup you’ll ever see in your life. And he was rewarded for that.
I’m a pretty early adopter of social media. There’s a whole subculture to it. I’m smart enough not to tweet things out of emotion.
I try to tweet, but I still haven’t gotten into the rhythm as much as some people who have, like, 20,000 tweets. There are some great comedians on there, so you get some pretty funny hot takes and bits.
I think maybe my attention span is too long to tweet.
I feel like I get a tweet every other day: ‘Can Thomas Rhett’s dancing get any more awkward?’ Which is hilarious to me. But I like to move, what can I say?
I have no interest in Twitter or Twotter or Twatter. It would never occur to me to use it. People who Tweet during programmes are always asking, ‘What happened then?’ If you’re bloody Twittering away all the time, you miss what is actually going on.
Somebody with a billion followers can tweet, ‘See my movie,’ and it can still tank. Followers don’t always translate into success because I think people are too savvy. When something takes off, it’s because people are connecting to it – not because someone with a lot of followers says to care about it.
Sometimes I will tweet an interview I have coming up and ask my followers what questions they have for the celebrity. I feel that way I can really know first hand what people want to hear answered.
The devices that our kids use are shipped from the factory with every possible audio, visual or vibration alert switched on. Each new app, website, tweet and message adds another layer of intrusion – each intrusion is cynically designed to get a response, and each response creates an appetite for another intrusion.
I don’t tweet. I prefer face-to-face communication and sometimes Instagram.
Authenticity is absolutely the key to a great tweet.
Never tweet while you’re angry; you’ll probably regret it later.
I feel like every time I tweet, I lose money.
My first tweet was at the CMT Awards when I won an award and typed, ‘Thank you.’ Then I was hooked because the followers started multiplying. It’s a great tool.
The fact that there’s people out there that care about what I’m eating for breakfast or care about a tweet that I posted in 2012 that they pulled up because they were searching on my Twitter and things like that – it’s hard to understand, because it’s just me, and I just think, ‘What’s so interesting about me?’
A lot of my fans also have gotten bullied and they always tweet me, ‘How do you deal with it?’ I always get questions about that, and I say if someone’s bullying you, stand up to them. Say something.
Sometimes I hold back from tweeting certain things. Sometimes you’re emotional, and you want to tweet a lyric or whatever it may be. I can’t do that because if I do, it’s, ‘Oh, this means this and that she must be going through this…’ It’s like, what the hell?
The Modi government’s accountability towards the common man can be gauged from the fact that be it Indians trapped overseas, a helpless mother looking for a doctor for her ailing child in a train, or a housewife struggling to get a gas cylinder, help is just a tweet away, with no protocol or red tape intervening.
I try to do it in both languages: English and Spanish. But sometimes I just Tweet in Spanish.
Harassment is the background radiation of my life. It is a factor in every decision I make. Any time I tweet something or make a post, I’m always thinking about it.
The promoted tweet is a real tweet that a company may have sent out that they want more distribution for. They will buy key words for it. If people are looking for something related, it will show up.
A bad Tweet can cause scandal, shame, even possibly end a politician’s career.
If you really want to make a difference you don’t do it via Tweet, via Facebook, via Instagram – you get down, you understand what the facts are and then you offer a path forward.
