People don’t know what to do when writing a story with teens that takes place now – they think you have to make a bunch of references to Facebook.
The real election meddling is by Facebook and Google and others that are shadow-banning people.
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.
By playing on people’s desire to belong to groups, Facebook creates a new, inclusive society. After all, Facebook is not like Harvard College. Anyone with access to the Internet can sign up.
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.
Between Twitter and Facebook, early word of mouth for a film can destroy it immediately or take something you’ve never heard of and make it a huge hit.
You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You’ll know it when you hit a home run.
I’ve always liked the fact that anyone with a great idea, access to the Internet, and an unrelenting will can spark a world-beating company simply by standing up code on the Internet and/or leveraging the information and relationship network that is the web. That’s how Facebook started, after all.
Facebook is developing, and so are we. Timeline is a big step in the evolution of how we manage our identity online – and it’s going to make a huge difference to Causes. You are building a monument to yourself and the things that are important to you.
I had a hard enough time in high school, fitting in without having to keep up with Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook – all these ways you have to keep up your image.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have sparked a booming industry of so-called influencers – people with large-scale followings who are paid considerable sums by large companies to tout their products or ideas.
Trying to explain the First Step Act in prison reform in a tweet or Facebook post is not easy.
Before the Internet, before BBSes and Fidonet and Usenet and LiveJournal and blogs and Facebook and Twitter, before the World Wide Web and hot-and-cold-online-everything, science fiction fandom had a long-lived, robust, well-debugged technology of social networking and virtual community.
Every status update you read on Facebook, every tweet or text message you get from a friend, is competing for resources in your brain with important things like whether to put your savings in stocks or bonds, where you left your passport, or how best to reconcile with a close friend you just had an argument with.
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.
At Facebook, we try to be a strengths-based organization, which means we try to make jobs fit around people rather than make people fit around jobs. We focus on what people’s natural strengths are and spend our management time trying to find ways for them to use those strengths every day.
There is something decidedly faux about the camaraderie of Facebook, something illusory about the connectedness of Twitter.
My God, what did I do before Facebook? I guess I had to call people and see how they’re doing! Now I can just read a post and call when in trouble.
I’ve been super impressed with what BuzzFeed has done on Facebook with inspiring list posts and on Twitter with political scoops, but YouTube is a giant social platform that has its own quirks and oddities and will require some new approaches.
I’m on Facebook anonymously. I wanted to see how people use it, what’s going on there, but I personally didn’t want to be on it because everybody in the world tries to get to you with scripts.
In many college classes, laptops depict split screens – notes from a class, and then a range of parallel stimulants: NBA playoff statistics on ESPN.com, a flight home on Expedia, a new flirtation on Facebook.
Social does not just equal Facebook. Social is how people interact anywhere.
Armed with nothing more than a Facebook user’s phone number and home address, anyone with an Internet connection and a few dollars can obtain personal information they should never have access to, including a user’s date of birth, e-mail address, or estimated income.
I was in the same class as Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. So we really experienced Facebook in a unique way. It launched our sophomore year, and we were also the first class where it became a recruiting tool.
If you’re building a social product, you’re still living in the last century if your product doesn’t work on Facebook.
I think Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are the cornerstones of any social media strategy.
I find Facebook absolutely fascinating because I don’t think there’s ever been any one source that had so much information about each of us – who we talk to, who our friends are, what books we read, what we’re buying, what movies we saw, what our travel is.
To criticize Facebook is to criticize the telephone.
I keep track of my blog stats, Facebook subs, my Amazon rank, Twitter followers, Facebook likes per posts, my chess ranking. I get stressed when they all don’t go up.
I can barely use my iPhone. I can’t do Facebook, can’t do Twitter, can’t do Instagram, none of it.
My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
Google and Facebook, each in their own way, have revolutionized the delivery of advertising based on search and social networking, creating a sort of anti-Spam: targeted, relevant ads that a consumer might actually welcome rather than spurn.
I don’t think Yahoo can be Facebook tomorrow, and don’t think Yahoo wants to be Facebook.
Google created the intent graph. Facebook created the social graph. We are creating the emotional graph.
I have Twitter auto-post to my Facebook page, and I occasionally post things directly to Facebook as well. I’ve always noticed that the direct-to-Facebook approach generates far more likes, but I’ve never actually gone back and run the averages.
The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.

But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.
Facebook seems to think that it would be liberating if everyone’s News Feed could be personalized so that people see only and exactly what they want. Don’t believe it. That’s a prison.
You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections – the presence you’ve spent years establishing on the world’s dominant social network?
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.
I think Facebook is an extraordinarily important part of the Internet ecosystem, and having a robust presence there is a critical part of any brand (or company’s) strategy.
Facebook is the social graph with the organizing principle around your friends and your social life. LinkedIn is the professional graph, organized around you, your job, your industry, your title and your function. At Chegg, we are building a student graph centered around you, as a student.
Everyone should be talking to each other to find out why they have the views that they do instead of just getting on Facebook and yelling at each other. Nobody really, really talks. They don’t listen.
I joined Facebook purely so I could play online Scrabble. You have eight tiles instead of seven, so you tend to have higher scores. I’m somewhere between 400 and 500.
If I see what you’re up to on Facebook but I don’t see your updates on Flickr, I’ll still care about Facebook.
It’s a normal thing for people to do, going on Facebook and seeing pictures of their exes with their new significant others.

Facebook’s privacy policies are confusing to many people, and the company has changed them frequently, almost always allowing more information to be exposed in more ways.
Facebook deploys a political advertising sales team, specialized by political party and charged with convincing deep-pocketed politicians that they do have the kind of influence needed to alter the outcome of elections.
