There is more of a demand, especially on the Internet and on Tumblr and Twitter, from women who are like, ‘We want to see more of us on TV!’.
The fashion industry now has a direct relationship with its customers. Thanks to things like Twitter, ideas can be shared and circulated.
I understand Twitter much more than I understand Tumblr.
Do we value privacy in any real way? Thinking about blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace… all these suggest we value exposure rather more. And instead of challenging this transformation, as they are supposed to – certainly at the more thoughtful edges of the art – novelists are buying into it wholesale.
Technology has the benefit of being easily scalable. A few weeks or months of coding can result in solutions that reap huge benefits. The global success of Facebook, Twitter, and Google are all triumphs of technology.
In the early days of Twitter, it was like a place of radical de-shaming. People would admit shameful secrets about themselves, and other people would say, ‘Oh my God, I’m exactly the same.’ Voiceless people realized that they had a voice, and it was powerful and eloquent.
You get weird, funny requests on Twitter. With our fan club, I was seeing a lot of fans were having some issue with the way the fan club tickets were being handled in one of the shows. So I was able to correspond with that fan, and be like, ‘Listen, we’ll be on it.’
I have an iPhone, too, but I use the Blackberry more because I’m addicted to BBM’ing. I’m also on Twitter 24/7 and it’s a lot easier on the BlackBerry.
My fans are all pretty cool, you know; I’ve never really seen anybody fighting on Twitter, no death threats, no harsh language, no gay slurs, nothing like that.
My sister’s a singer, and she’s on Twitter, and she has millions of followers. I wonder how that helps her. I think it does to an extent. I think she gets free things.
If I have the power to post ‘Happy Birthday’ on someone’s Facebook page and make them feel really good, it feels really good to make other people feel really good. I love it. I’m a huge Facebook and Twitter person. And I love talking to my fans. It’s fun.
Initially, when I joined Twitter, I was active. But, later, I felt that whatever I was tweeting or saying on a social platform turned out to be a little boring.
My generation, we really have to step up to the plate and vote. Tweeting is great – people say, ‘Oh, I don’t want this or that’ – but at the end of the day, tweeting isn’t a ballot. Just saying that you don’t like someone on Twitter is not going to turn a state blue or red. You have to vote.
I got roped into Twitter. I actually quite enjoy it! But I don’t go on as often as some.
Twitter is the most amazing medium for a comedy writer. I can’t get in every idea I want on the show no matter how hard I try to bully the other writers, so it’s a way of me getting out other comic ideas and immediately getting feedback.
The internet, Facebook and Twitter have created mass communications and social spaces that regimes cannot control.
I actually got an initial sense of how big ‘Outlander’ was going to be on Twitter. We’re all on there to help promote the show and also interact with the fans.
I think, like, Twitter is somewhat difficult sometimes, and it can be kind of negative.
I think Twitter is such a cool thing because it really is a direct line to the fans and for fans back to you, and it’s such a new thing. I think in the past there’s been usually fan mail and that’s really good, but Twitter, it gets an immediate response.
If you’re willing to take risks, Twitter is a vast amusement park of interesting life possibilities.
I don’t do any social media. I’m not on Facebook or Twitter. I’m just not interested.
In ’77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people’s attention spans are too short. Back then you had ‘Top Of The Pops’ and ‘Melody Maker,’ and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music.
I’m not going to go on Twitter and rant about something.
Twitter is growing up, expanding into other countries, and recognizing that the Internet is contrary to what people hoped; the government does reach into the Internet.
What’s interesting about Twitter and the influencers that someone follows – like, say, Shaquille O’Neal – is that they see someone who is using the exact same tools that they have access to, and I think that inspires this hope to be able to really engage with someone like him.
I personally never got the gist of Facebook and Twitter.
In the future, things will truncate! No, in the age of Twitter, we can’t be upset when words become shorter.
Here’s the thing about standup directing: not that hard. As I said on Twitter one day, or maybe it was Instagram – sorry, I want to keep my platforms straight – it’s essentially the same five shots over and over again. Seven if you’re ambitious.
I’m always inspired by people who have really cool Twitter profiles.
I think Twitter is best when it sparks conversations elsewhere. To use YouTube and Facebook and all the tools we have available to us today to respond and also promote and answer and engage is awesome.
I’m going to try to keep believing that if you do good work, people will keep calling. Whenever that fails, I’ll just start going nuts on Twitter.
But as far as Twitter, I’ll be in a restaurant and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous, because you don’t want everybody to know where you are every second of every day.
I guess people feel like they kind of know me. The game developer me, or the Twitter persona, that’s Notch. It’s a censored version. The real me is Markus.
I would not have a career without Facebook and Twitter. That’s the truth.
What’s cool about Twitter is that you can make a joke about something very of-the-moment or random that I wouldn’t be able to joke about in stand-up.
I’m kind of odd; I’m a technophobe who isn’t a technophobe. I’m afraid of new things, but eventually I love them. That happened with Twitter.
People have different opinions. That’s what Twitter is for.
I like to get suggestions on what to read. I’ll look at Twitter, people I like, people I admire… I’ll go and research the book, download it on my phone and read it while I’m on the road.
People on Twitter can follow tech if they’re interested in tech, or business if they’re interested in business, or they can follow celebrities that they’re fans of.
The way the Facebook network is set up, it’s not as suitable for content discovery. Twitter is better, but there are too many over-sharers. Also, on Twitter and Facebook, everything comes from people you know. On StumbleUpon, it comes from people that you don’t necessarily know but share your interests.
I go on Twitter and I ask my viewers, ‘What would you like to see next season in my line?’ or ‘What are things you love to wear?’ They’re the ones wearing it, so I want to make sure it applies to them.
It’s really cool now that we have Twitter and Facebook, and it’s cool that people can post their thoughts and stories and just constantly on their timelines.
The way actors interact with their audience via Twitter is a part of their personality. So if I interact less, that is a part of my personality. I am mostly lost in my own world.
With the advent of Twitter and Facebook and other social networking sites, genuine privacy can only be found by renting a private villa for a holiday. Hotels are now out of the question for my wife and I.
I’m battling with keeping my narcissism at bay as it is, so Twitter was not a good thing for that.
The first thing I ever invested in was Twitter. Blaine Cook, former CTO, was leaving the company and asked me if I wanted to buy his stock.
We’re looking at dozens, sometimes hundreds of things every day in articles, videos, and we never look at them again. Even if we do like them, even if we tweet them out to all of our followers on Twitter, we don’t return to it.
Twitter is definitely not the place to handle business per se.
On March 5, 2011, protesters stormed the Egyptian state security headquarters. In real time, activists shared their discoveries on Twitter as they moved through a building that had until recently been one of the Mubarak regime’s largest torture facilities.
I’m starting to get a following on Twitter. That’s a really awesome power to have. It gives me the opportunity to make any kind of art I want.
Twitter is important, but it’s not more important than protecting your soul.
Today, when you look at social media, you see that the narrative can be overtaken by people just from Twitter and Instagram. I know when Ferguson was going down those first few nights, I was watching feeds on the ground on Twitter, not CNN.
Twitter! It’s like being stalked by committee!
In my eyes, Twitter is not just about posting pictures of the clothes you wear. It’s about connection with people who reach out to you, too.
I have a dad-ager. My dad is really good at the business end of things. But it’s really a family affair. My mother handles all my social media stuff – Facebook, Twitter, e-mails, that kind of thing.
There is no better source of real-time news than Twitter. With the constant sharing of news and information, if you’re an active Twitter user, there’s nothing happening, big or small, that you won’t know right away.
