I have a Twitter account. I own my name, but I’ve never tweeted.
The Web provides a very easy way to immediately grasp what’s going on. It really offers the transparency, so you can see, especially with the search engine, how people are using Twitter at one glance. The phone doesn’t allow for that.
It’s important that all my friends have verified Twitter accounts. The blue checkmark makes me feel comfortable and like I’m friends with a legit, high-quality person. I also prefer friends with ridiculously long usernames.
Twitter and Facebook are brilliant tools, the journalistic uses of which are still being plumbed. They are great for disseminating interesting material. They are useful for gathering information, including from places that are inaccessible.
Hopefully, one day I won’t have to be so caught up in all of that day-to-day, the Twitter and the Instagram. But I also would like to, at some point, turn off and take a break and also be, like, an artist.
I think that Twitter and YT and blogs are keeping media more honest. Everyone can be a journalist now. Everyone is a fact checker.
Politics move, as fast as Twitter, and for everyone to think that in four years America was going to be perfect is ridiculous.
I think it’s hard to compare ‘Twitter’ and ‘Instagram’. Twitter has a more mature business.
I could go on Twitter, Instagram, and literally, my soul will be lifted by things that I see. It just makes me really happy.
I have a Twitter, but I’m not a tweeter… if that really makes sense.
I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I’m working at it.
I try as much I can after every live performance to read all the comments my fans post on Facebook and Twitter, as this helps enormously for me to understand straight from fans what worked and what didn’t.
I have an iPhone. I like it for the camera and the fact that you can have your email and Twitter and all that stuff in one place. However, unlike most men I know, I hate buying new technology.
I don’t do Twitter because I don’t want to talk about myself more than I already have to.
If you don’t have a Facebook, like, you’re nobody. There’s all of these sort of requirements now, and if you don’t have all of these things – Facebook, Twitter, etc. – you’re made fun of. And Twitter for celebrities… everything is just getting so personal. Pictures of yourself, of what you’re eating for breakfast.
Like, radio is closer to a Tumblr, or a blog, or Twitter, than it is to television, I think.
I’ve found my calling with Twitter. It’s all about the amount of interaction you do, and the traffic you move, and I’m really good at that. I keep going and going and going, and no one can believe that I can keep it up.
I like to get people talking. I am a provocateur, and I do like getting on Twitter and riling people up. You know what, after a while some sane dialogue and sane conclusions come of that kind of thing.
First, I thought Twitter was some kind of hybrid car being developed by Government Motors. Then I thought it was a new bite-size snack combining what’s best of the Frito and the Cheeto. Then I found out it was me. On a laptop. At the U.S. Open. Having fun.
I’m a huge Twitter dork! That’s the best way for fans to keep informed about what’s going on with me.
As much as I love Twitter, Twitter feuds aren’t going to work. Actually connecting requires true face-to-face time. I believe with all my heart that it’s only after working side by side with another person that you earn the right to speak into that person’s life.
There’s no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be in the position that I am if I didn’t have my ‘One Tree Hill’ fans. They’re the most dedicated, devoted fans. They’re behind you no matter what. If one person says one bad thing about me on Twitter, they’re fighting back!
I know very little about the viral, electronic world, but I use Twitter to communicate not only information that I think some of the fans want to hear about but also ideas.
I’m equally guilty of using technology – I Twitter, I text people, I chat. But I think there’s something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we’re closer when in fact we’re not seeing each other, we’re not connecting.
There are many benefits to a sports entity breaking news directly to their recipients: the entity has full control over the message and how it is shared versus previously relying on a media outlets to translate or distribute as they choose. Also, there’s no quicker place for valuable information to spread than Twitter.
I’m on Twitter. I created my account for my fans, and I do respond back once in a while, because they’re so great.
It turns out that with Twitter data alone, we can go quite some way into figuring out someone’s personality.
I started my Twitter account for selfish reasons: I wanted to have a place to post updates on my book signing tour and stuff like that. I never realized that I’d have so much fun tweeting. It’s become the deleted scenes for my DVD of columns and podcasts.
I don’t know if I’m a Twitter addict. That seems kind of harsh. I would say it’s more that I’m seriously involved. That it’s a long-term relationship – like a girlfriend, which my actual girlfriend loves to hear.
I have a Facebook page for me and my friends and a Twitter page.
Unless you have experienced it, it’s difficult to describe the virulence of the Twitter storms that were unleashed on Trump skeptics.
I have a lot of Twitter rules. I never swear on Twitter, and if anybody’s inappropriate, I block them. I have young followers.
While consumer social like Facebook and Twitter gets the headlines, perhaps the greatest untapped potential for social networking lies in business applications.
Blogging and traditional media work together. Twitter complements traditional media.
Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones – and, like, Twitter – constantly, which I have no problem with. I’d say we’re not describing the children of America or anything like that, but there is something to take from it: It is kind of sad how we can’t go thirty minutes without checking our phone.
Lately I’ve been feeling like 50 percent of the great content I read comes from Twitter conversations.
I’ve never really been into social media – I don’t have a Facebook; I don’t do Twitter or Instagram or anything.
The thing that got me started on Twitter was just basically pressure from management and the record company saying, ‘Hey, this is what all the other artists are doing. You need to be doing it also.’ I didn’t really have a clue what is was.
The thing that excites me, and the thing that excited me about Twitter, is the idea of a flock of birds moving around an object in flight.
Kids need to remember that when you put something on Twitter, it’s not like whispering to your friend, you’ve put it on a billboard that the whole world, including your own kids someday, can see.
I’ve never done Twitter.
Twitter is a very easy way to keep in touch.
I love to post behind-the-scenes photos of what is really going on. My twitter friends really seem to like that and the great thing is I can deliver them information right away.
I am not a fan of Facebook or Twitter. They both allow too much information to be available and they make privacy a thing of the past.
Television programming is the number one topic on Twitter, and dozens of start-ups in the social space are linking second-screen experiences. People no longer need to sit on the same couch to enjoy a show together.
Before Twitter or Facebook, all the fandom that I knew about was anecdotal.
I have a daily message, ‘Stimumail,’ which I use to stimulate the mind and heart. I have the opportunity to touch over 60,000 people I have never met. I also use Twitter and Facebook.
I don’t even want to be on Twitter. I think it’s abhorrent, people sending messages to say they’re doing the washing-up or whatever.
Can you imagine if Babe Ruth had had Twitter?
I used to have a pseudonym for Twitter, and I’m trying to get my check to verify me.
Before, revolutions used to have ideological names. They could be communist, they could be liberal, they could be fascist or Islamic. Now, the revolutions are called under the medium which is most used. You have Facebook revolutions, Twitter revolutions. The content doesn’t matter anymore – the problem is the media.
Social media is interesting. It helps me connect with fans. It’s immediate. It’s a big part of my touring business – getting the word out via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
A photo app is a utility. It’s like comparing ‘Twitter’ to Microsoft Word. If you want to be an author, you’re not always going to constrain yourself to 140 characters.
A key component of social media is ‘following’ – and no one is there to see what you have to say on Instagram or Twitter if they aren’t motivated to follow you.
I look at Twitter as brand building.
I don’t know how old my phone is, but it was only $10. It is a nice subconscious way of not having the Internet at your fingertips… e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.
Twitter helps me connect to the people who help make my music, or the cycle of an album, complete. Without them experiencing the music, it doesn’t really exist, so it doesn’t make sense to not involve them.
It makes me feel so amazing to know there’s people out here that support me and follow me on Twitter and watch my shows on YouTube and come to my concert, so I’m very thankful.
