A little tantrum in real life seems so much bigger online.
Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.
A very large percentage of economic activity is shifting online and it makes sense that there are more services that are going to charge. It also means there are going to be more people willing to pay.
Online crime is practically always international, because they almost always cross traditional national borders.
Does Facebook act as though I own my online life, or as though it does? Concretely: Can I control what data it shares with other users, with advertisers, and with business partners?
I read a lot of news online, but I like buying a paper because I’ll read an article I wouldn’t normally read. And more often than not, the articles that you don’t expect to care about are the ones that grab you.
For a long time, I was very resistant to the idea of online publication or even e-books or something like that.
Even among those who I would not count as ‘friends,’ I have met many people online who have simply commented on my work or are interested by what I do.
The first thing I ever sold online was stolen.
It’s made it easier to communicate important issues, but I wonder if connecting with millions of people online is ever as arresting to someone’s attention as one man standing and screaming in front of City Hall.
‘You’ve got mail!’ exclaims the cheery automaton at America Online. The flag on the mailbox icon waves invitingly on my computer screen. For a second, I’m 10 years old again, waiting for the postman’s whistle to slice the stillness of an Australian afternoon.
Blogging can generate a great deal of traffic to your online business.
I’ve always been online and available to my fans.
The amount of writing that people do online is astonishing, and historically unprecedented.
People online will tell you what they really think – there’s no diplomacy. They’re honest; it’s good to have the feedback immediately.
The place where I think social media fails is in showing the knowledge, the tradition of stitching the clothing, of cutting the fabric, of the tannery, of the skinning of the jewels – this knowledge needs respect. Online and social media is the future, but we need to learn from the past, too.
Like Syria, the government of Bahrain employs aggressive tactics to censor and monitor its people’s online activity.
I was aiming for the cooks that I’ve talked to by teaching an online course and by traveling, listening to people who are really busy and harried but want to be cooking.
Is there anyone out there who is the next Steve Jobs? I think Jeff Bezos is pretty close. He is very smart. He is extremely creative. He has completely reinvented the way in which commerce is done online.
I do shop online! But I’m shopping online mostly in the home categories – One Kings Lane and Gilt. At a lot of architectural websites, I buy a lot of hardware for cabinetry like hinges and things like that from England. So, you know, for me, I shop at Net-A-Porter, but I don’t really shop that much for clothing online.
I like to surf. I like to play guitar. I want to do college classes online. I wanted to do marine biology for a long time, but I don’t know.
Listen, we’re still selling stardom. That doesn’t go away because MTV decides they can’t play videos or they want to program themselves more as a traditional T.V. station. Vevo and YouTube are like MTV online, and on demand.
One thing we didn’t know in 1996 is that it’s very, very difficult, if not impossible, to sustain a culture with online advertising.
Just like the Internet disrupted the publishing industry, we’re going to see Bitcoin micropayments creating some very interesting opportunities for pay-as-you-go, pay-based-on-time online businesses and, frankly, some risks as well to the traditional business model as to how things get sold online.
Anyone can go online and write anything they want about people they don’t even know, and most of the time, that is fueled by hate. The sad part is that people actually believe what they read online.
I shop almost exclusively online, from brands like Eloquii, ASOS, Elizabeth Suzann, or Rachel Comey, if one of their straight-size pieces has a little extra room.
I was an online service provider. It’s not my job to police what people are uploading. It’s the job of the content owners, and the law is very clear. If you create content, and you want to protect your copyrights, you have to do the work.
I’m on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims.
Whether it’s by helping us search for health-related information, connecting us with doctors through online portals, or enabling us to store and retrieve our medical records online, the Internet is starting to show the promise it has to transform the way people interact with and improve their own health and wellness.
Our eyeball hours are scarce, indeed. That’s why Google wants us to do as much as possible online, in range of their ads, and is willing to spend billions creating more reasons and ways for us to do so.
My book is already online. I can type 150 words a minute. I took typing in high school.
The whole social media thing is ridiculous. Everybody gets to say what they want all the time. That’s fine in theory, but it’s not civilised. Imagine going into a bar, and everybody in that bar is talking like people do online. They’d just get their teeth punched in.
Online fundraising is so important to the Democratic Party.
The ‘Evening News’ is going to have a long run, both as a broadcast and as a presence online and on cellphones. It is a franchise with a very rich tradition.
You don’t lose weight by watching someone else exercise. You don’t learn by watching someone else solve problems. It became clear to me that the only way to do online learning effectively is to have students solve problems.
In reality, if there are 200 people commenting on something online, it’s less than a grain of salt in a huge beach of humanity – who cares?
I not only work online through my various projects, but I am an avid user of online technologies to connect and engage with friends as well.
Any sort of bullying is a terrible thing, but I think online bullying is so much worse because it’s psychological bullying.
There’s tons of people doing awesome things with comics online – I’m just one dude!
First Round has an opportunity: to create an entirely new kind of online publication, built for technology entrepreneurs, where they can learn how to build better companies.
Use state-of-the-heart technology online and offline to turn listeners into viral advocates and customers into raving fans.
People want to be in charge of health information. They want it available the same way online banking is available.
I was doing these music videos online for a couple years, and they’d be doing well to varying degrees. And I released an album, and with the album, I released three new music videos, and one of them was featured on Jezebel.
Doing field trips rather than simply researching online allows me to experience the story from the point of view of my main character; you can’t get that by sitting at a desk.
Having gone through so many of the personal things I’ve gone through, its about creating an (online) space for girls to be heard. I don’t profess to have all the answers. But Ask Elizabeth is a space where girls are not alone.
I get really scared about how the Internet is shifting and changing everyone’s minds, and the way we see ourselves and interact online. Everything is so diluted now.
Our robots are signing up for online learning. After decades of attempts to program robots to perform complex tasks like flying helicopters or surgical suturing, the new approach is based on observing and recording the motions of human experts as they perform these feats.
Virtually any appliance is going to be online. Appliances will talk to each other and to the power-generation system. Our appliances will pay attention to our preferences.
I know it sounds strange to say, but the very technologies that have made traveling easier for most people – GPS, automated ticket machines, online schedules and ticketing, boarding passes you can print out at home – have actually made things harder for me.
I’ve been online long enough to know if I don’t like the first results I get, I go look for more.
There’s something about the modern era where it’s very hard to transgress – we’re all so online, easier to track by mobile phone – so you have people who do it on your behalf.
Originally, technology was pretty clearly on the side of introversion. It allowed introverts to connect with people, to express their ideas in a less stimulating way: you’re sitting alone behind a computer. But I’m starting to think that the pressure to self-present constantly online is becoming so extreme.
It’s hard to change information in books, but if we have everything online, then a somewhat untrustworthy group of people controlling the thing – which I think is what we have – gives us ‘1984.’
The advertising market in China is big and is still growing at a considerable pace. While online video is emerging as a mainstream advertising solution, it still represents a relatively small portion of advertising budget in China.
If you had told me in 1997 that even 5 people would be waiting online for me to sign my new book in 2009, I would have jumped around like Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series. I love it. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like it. The only thing I worry about is carpal tunnel syndrome – my last tour almost caused it.
