I feel like I’ve got a pretty good presence online through Instagram and Facebook. I just keep it simple.
We need to create a level regulatory playing field. It makes no sense for Internet giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter to be allowed to buy newspapers while a small AM radio station is prohibited from purchasing its local paper.
On all open platforms, regardless of whether it’s Facebook or the Apple App Store, the largest segment is entertainment and games. It’s the largest revenue segment. And it’s the same for Tencent.
With Facebook and Twitter, everyone wants to publicize their innermost truths.
I see fighters make funny videos about me and stick them on Facebook and get 20 likes. When I make a video, I sell it to Fox and make seven figures. That’s the difference.
News seems to travel far more quickly on Twitter and Facebook than through search.
Zuckerberg rejected $2 billion for Facebook and has successfully created a company worth nearly $200 billion.
It’s a big and growing problem, the amount of power possessed by Google and Facebook. President Eisenhower said it about the military-industrial complex. They pose a grave threat to our democracy.
Altruism is one of the most fundamentally social impulses, and doing things for others without expecting anything in return is core to what makes us human. This is why, from the day Facebook Platform launched in 2007, Causes has been honored to be one of the most popular applications, with over 140 million users.
The truth is that most of your Facebook friends are too busy counting their own ‘likes’ to pay attention to you for more than a few seconds anyway. Unless you happen to be a kitten who’s in love with a baby goat, in which case you should hire a publicist immediately.
After launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.
The next Google or Facebook will come from somewhere other than Silicon Valley.
I think that it’s really incredible, growing up and being able to have all these people who really look up to the work that I do. It’s really cool that I have such awesome fans, and I can’t thank them enough. I get on my Twitter and Facebook every day, and I see such awesome things.
We never saw Google+ Circles or Facebook Lists as reflective of the way our friendships play out.
Facebook is about seeing what your friend is doing. Twitter, you follow different people. Flipboard is about passions and interests and topics, and so it’s the same social web that all of these products are letting you look at, but Flipboard is coming at it from a more topical point of view.
I think it’s pretty clear that the Internet as a whole has not had a strong notion of identity. And identity means, ‘Who am I?’ Fundamentally, what Facebook has done has built a way to figure out who people are.
I was active on Facebook for a while, responding to comments and thanking fans for their appreciation. But I found that the Facebook feed was numbing my emotions. I’d see an extraordinarily tragic news item, and even before I could react to it, see a hilarious meme right below it. This was confusing me.
Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it’s really self-involved and very narcissistic – their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it’s about me. It’s a generation that’s been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part.
For the past few years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and occasionally on the phone with women I have met online.
Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.
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.
The rewards for biotechnology are tremendous – to solve disease, eliminate poverty, age gracefully. It sounds so much cooler than Facebook.
Where did the inspiring Obama of the campaign go, that Facebook pied piper who friended the whole world with this update: ‘Change you can believe in.’ What happened to him?
Here is a fact: If Facebook were a religion, it will be the third largest behind Islam and Christianity. Its success is rooted and capitalizing on the human desire to bond.
At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.
I think Facebook has a lot of work to do to make sure people are seeing meaningful things and not garbage.
Well, c’mon, everyone is a Facebook addict!
The great thing that guys like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guys have in common is they treat their technology like it’s art, and I suppose in the hands of virtuosos like them, it is.
In order for a service to be social, you’ve really got to start from the ground up. The fact that almost a third of the U.S. population have even heard of Spotify is really because they’ve seen it on Facebook and friends have been sharing.
You can’t invent Google, Facebook or the iPod unless you’ve mastered the basics, are willing to put in long hours and can pick yourself up from the floor when life knocks you down the first 10 times.
More and more, the things we do in real life will end up as Facebook posts. And while we may be consoled by the fact that most of this stuff is being posted just to our friends, it only takes one friend to share that information with his or her friends to start a viral chain.
I don’t have a Facebook page and I don’t think I will but Twitter for me is a way to take control of the message. Kind of wrestle it back. It’s something I’m enjoying.
Sharing with just your friends doesn’t protect your privacy. I know the people at Facebook will disagree and argue that users can control what is shared with whom. But this is simply an illusion that makes us feel better about all the sharing we have done and are about to do.
Once everyone is connected to everyone and everything else, nothing matters anymore. If everyone in the world is your Facebook friend, then why have any Facebook friends at all? We’re back where we started. The ultimate complexity is just another entropy.
IndieBio’s capital, facilities and deep mentoring by a network of biotech specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google’s, Facebook’s and Instagram’s of biology.
There’s a real company in Facebook and then a lot of pretenders riding their coat tails.
One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn’t had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.
Google is about information and computers and making things really fast. Facebook is about the sharing and connections. These missions give these companies direction and motivation.
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 think all this Facebook stuff should just stop!
You will never build a company on the scale of a Facebook or a Google if you sell it along the way.
Seeing other people is incredibly engaging, and that’s one of the drivers that made us partner with Facebook – social communication. Not social newsfeeds, but actual face-to-face, seeing multiple avatars in a play experience, that’s going to be a very big part of the future in VR.
The novel, as a genre, was once considered a diversion every bit as frivolous as Facebook, but over the years, we’ve managed to convince ourselves that reading fiction is as important to our mental digestion as fresh fruits and vegetables are to the processes that take place a little further down.
I don’t believe that employers should have access to an employee’s private passwords, including Facebook.
I am not entirely off grid. I send a lot of email. But the way Facebook constantly alters its privacy settings to bamboozle you into giving more away is just underhand.
I think there’s a danger in how we can get addicted to the things that reaffirm to us who we are. For example, Facebook; people who make these Facebook posts about what’s happening to them, just so people will chime in and give them positive reinforcement.
If there is a Like button in a page, Facebook knows who visited that page. And it can get IP address of the computer visiting the page even if the person is not a Facebook user.
If we’re the country that makes Amazon and Facebook and Twitter, why can’t the federal government have websites and digital services that are awesome?
I’m not on Twitter, nor Facebook, or LinkedIn, or any of these systems, because they suck in your soul and they will not let you go. Try to get out of any of them, and you will see. They are just like some religions where apostasy is punished by death.
I don’t have anyone’s number; I just Facebook them.
MySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.
People sometimes forget how early Flickr came. Facebook didn’t add photo sharing till a year after Flickr was acquired by Yahoo.
I think Facebook’s biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook’s power users are overwhelmed with.
