The first phase of social media was listening to the conversation. The second phase was joining the conversation. The third phase will be hosting the conversation on your site.
I don’t like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right every day. What’s the point? It’s like having your number all out. Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.
I think that social media has really empowered bullies because you get to do it from the comfort of your own home, completely anonymously, with no ramifications.
I feel – and this goes back to social media and freedom of speech – when you’re on a public platform, and you put something out there in front of people who don’t know you, they might just perceive it in a very different way altogether.
Social media, to me, has got out of hand. Why can’t we all be nice to each other?
I think social media has taken over for our generation. It’s a big part of our lives, and it’s kind of sad.
Social media and personalization are providing both brand advertisers and end-users with hyper-targeted choices and opportunities for double-digit growth.
Thankfully, there was not a lot of social media around when I was growing up.
I have two daughters, and they grew up and wanted to get into Instagram, and I didn’t know anything about social media. I started it to learn about what they were starting to do and how they communicate with their friends. I opened an account. Very fast, in a few hours, I realized that I actually liked it.
I don’t have social media. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat.
You have to be careful that you’re not too involved in so much social media that you miss out on real life.
When I hear people debate the ROI of social media? It makes me remember why so many business fail. Most businesses are not playing the marathon. They’re playing the sprint. They’re not worried about lifetime value and retention. They’re worried about short-term goals.
Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show.
I’m so fascinated by the influence of social media on fashion. I’ve seen so many artists on Instagram, up and comers you would have never known otherwise.
I have a private Instagram and an official one, so I’m not opposed to social media.
Social media can be a powerful tool to listen to, engage with and gain access to customers that you would otherwise not be able to connect with.
I think at first the Flume project really started out as an online thing. I used Facebook and SoundCloud, and I think we got lucky because it felt like a bit of a golden age of those social media platforms. So I managed to create quite a solid fan base online.
Social media has truly helped my career because it has given models a voice. And a voice is something that we want to see a change in the industry.
I have always liked to live my life in a quiet and peaceful manner. I used to lead my life that way. But the rise in social media has certainly affected me. Now I am always noticed.
Consumers value their personal time and are loyal to those companies that make their lives more productive. Brands gaining some of the biggest successes in social media are engaging with millions of consumers through value exchange.
Whether you’re a Twitter follower, a YouTube subscriber or a Facebook friend, natural social instinct is to collect people and to not kind of see them later. But unfortunately, with social media, you collect them and they’re in your life, whether you really want them or not.
With technology and social media and citizen journalism, every rock that used to go unturned is now being flipped, lit and put on TV.
You don’t want to be first, right? You want to be second or third. You don’t want to be – Facebook is not the first in social media. They’re the third, right? Similarly, you know, if you look at Steve Jobs’ history, he’s never been first.
I look at social media as a place to have fun. It should be positive.
On the evidence I have on hand at home, social media isn’t killing our children. It isn’t killing families, either, because the constant long bloody phone calls that parents complained to their teenagers about in decades past are gone.
Certification programs for social media are blossoming as a response to the demand for more social media training. Both industry professionals and recent graduates are tapping into tactical training programs to help them stay up to date as the industry grows.
I think a lot of social media creators have always been, like, content and haven’t pushed the limits because no one else had pushed the limits before. I say to myself, ‘How can I create my own TV show online every day and actually make it a real production and put effort into it?’
Some days, I’ll be very down and out, but you won’t be able to tell, really, because I don’t express that side of myself on social media. That’s the side of myself that I express through music.
I’ve got a different life. I live up on a farm; I don’t have anything to do with social media.
Social media enables us to talk about issues, shine a light on problems, and raise awareness of struggles that might have gone unnoticed. On the flipside, it also allows for a lot of noise and distractions. Sometimes it doesn’t create the best environment for a healthy discussion and can lead to trolling.
You could have a zillion Facebook followers. Those people don’t buy records. It’s about a hundred to one…Record companies, they don’t have any money, so they see social media as the free marketing… So… ‘Billy, light yourself on fire and stand upside down, and that’ll market the record.’
I myself get nervous when I write something on social media. I make sure I don’t write anything wrong.
I don’t do much on social media. I don’t really want people knowing about my life.
My community grew on social media because I don’t exclude anybody from any walk of life. The videos that I create are seen throughout the world and are funny no matter what language you speak.
I don’t know how, at an age when you’re trying to put your identity together, how you cope with the pressure of a performance space, which is what social media is.
I think that women of color use social media to make our voices heard with or without the amplification of white women. I also think that, many times, when white women want our support, they use an umbrella of ‘women supporting women’ and forget that they didn’t lend the same kind of support.
It’s a dilemma for every modern parent – how to keep children safe on social media without monitoring their every post.
Social media overwhelms me.
I think in this world of social media, we will be lost if we don’t have an online account.
Lots of people hide behind social media to spread ridiculous rumours and cause problems where they don’t exist.
The day Trump got elected, I got off social media.
Unfortunately, we have seen terrorist groups use social media to spread hateful propaganda, to recruit members, and to incite violence with alarming effectiveness.
Social media provides a constant platform on which to feature what we deem beautiful, meaningful, and worthy.
If the League were real, today, they’d most likely be sued by every person they ever saved. They’d be subpoenaed by every authority in every jurisdiction imaginable; hearings upon hearings. There’d be waves of accolades followed by tsunamis of boos from social media.
Yeah, look, I think what we have with the social media and the digital media, and all the telecommunications we have today is a big megaphone, amplification.
You have to turn the noise off a little bit. Fortunately, I’m not really on social media. I’ve been able to live in a bit of a black hole.
I used to share my everyday life on the first social media platforms, and I had a pretty big following.
Your morning sets up the success of your day. So many people wake up and immediately check text messages, emails, and social media. I use my first hour awake for my morning routine of breakfast and meditation to prepare myself.
The rise of Right-wing populism globally has divided not just countries, but families. It has broken relationships and torn apart friendships. It has created social media discord and abuse, and led to unprecedented name-calling.
When I talk to CEOs, they’re not educated about social media.
All that social media hyperbole is just so fake.
As far as social media and all that, I understand connecting with fans on a different level, but I don’t feel the need to open myself up to the opinion of everybody in the world with a phone or computer. I just don’t get that, being connected to everybody on such a superficial level like that. It’s not really for me.
I am so appalled by the whole social media thing. I don’t get it; it doesn’t appeal to me. Neither does a computer or working on a laptop.
Because it’s so easy to medicate our need for self-worth by pandering to win followers, ‘likes’ and view counts, social media have become the metier of choice for many people who might otherwise channel that energy into books, music or art – or even into their own Web ventures.
