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.
If you look at my Twitter feed it is 99% links, but 1% is me responding and 1% of a big number is a big number.
I love doing girly stuff with my mum or with Sophia. I took Sophia and a couple of her friends to the Hello Kitty spa. They had chocolate facials and Hello Kitty mani-pedis. I put it on my Twitter and got lots of abuse for it, but I think it’s just a nice girly thing.
Twitter and Tumblr and Vine and Instagram and Facebook and Myspace, all these things are social media tools that we were all told we had to have, and what we’re realizing is that, no you don’t! No you don’t.

Some folks have suggested that, using WordPress, Prologue, and RSS, you could create a pretty effective distributed version of Twitter.
In the streets, they’re very nice. On Twitter, there are people who love to hate me. Sometimes people get mean. I tend to answer like, ‘Careful now, know who you’re dealing with…’ They’re like, ‘I’m sorry! Don’t send the Lord of Light after me!’ It’s fun to play with that.

I have used Twitter for so many things, from places to stay, places to go, things to do, things I need, medical advice, you name it. Especially when I’m on tour, it really feels like I’m being taken care of by half a million people. It is like having a mom.
Social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter should be urged to adhere to business practices that maximize the safety of activists using their platforms.

I’m just so against kids being on Twitter because they are not thinking about the ramifications of what they are saying or the emotion of how they say it.
Because of Twitter, I think people know most every single thing about me. I don’t know if there’s anything that would surprise people about me.
Personally, I don’t have a Twitter account. I like to be in control of the way the stand up of Stewart Lee is perceived, I don’t want to have to engage with individual people. Also, when I do look at it, loads of factually inaccurate things about me are written.
