The first information I consume in the morning is probably ‘The New York Times’ and then my Twitter feed. I think Twitter is a really fascinating, easy way to stay on top of what stories are out there.
I had gone away from Twitter because before people had been so mean to me. Talking about my lisp and my enormous forehead and all these things. I do have a lisp, I do have a forehead I know you could land a plane on, it’s no mystery to me. I just didn’t have the skin for it.
When I first started on Twitter, a relative asked, ‘Aren’t you concerned with giving away your jokes?’ I don’t think of it that way. That’s my content, and that’s what I do.
Today, models are able to share industry news, trends, and communicate with fans through Twitter, Instagram and blogs. So in a way, our position as models is way more personable and relatable.
Twitter means all my friends are in my computer. All my ideas are in my computer. I can do whatever I want in there; I’m kind of… bionic.
I’m the kind of person, if I see something, like a funny video, I want to share it. With Twitter and Tumblr you can do that on a mass scale, and people get to know your personality.
I’m actually not on Twitter.
I started getting Twitter followers after I started doing press for ‘Fargo.’ One of my best friends from college is a librarian, and she started tracking after each interview how many Twitter followers I got. She and her librarian friends were like, ‘We’re going to make a graph.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, nerds.’
Facebook and Twitter have a ton of information they’re trying to make sense of.
There’s pressure to come up with something genius every time. I feel like I keep letting myself down with my Twitter posts. I have to start keeping a journal of rough drafts of prophetic ideas about the world.
The danger of the Internet is cocooning with the like-minded online – of sending an email or Twitter and confusing that with action – while the real corporate and military and government centers of power go right on.
All of the awards, applause, Twitter followers, shoes, it will all go away eventually. But if I can leave the world slightly more hopeful, inspired, and more healed than when I arrived, I did my job.
Twitter is a blessing and a curse at the same time.
I’ve been a lot more into Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, which was a bit complicated for me to understand the language of each social media, because they all talk in different ways. It’s a nice way for me to tell people I appreciate them, which I forget to do sometimes.
I like Twitter a lot. It is a great way to get the fans knowing another side of you.
I haven’t gotten jobs because I’m famous or I have a big Twitter feed – it’s primarily directors. People employ me because I’m right for the part. But then, everybody needs a bit of luck, being in the right place at the right time. You just gotta be in that place for that opportunity to come by.
My Twitter feed is probably my biggest resource of news. Other people scour the web so I do not have to, and I thank them for it.
Everything is online these days. Even a small bit of information is immediately put up on Twitter or sent via WhatsApp.
My public Facebook page is what it is. My Twitter account is sort of what it is, but if I’m totally honest with you, that is not my personal, private self. I have another Facebook page that is devoted to my dear friends and family, and they can keep in touch with me that way.
Throughout the day, I frequently use my iPhone to check ‘Deadline Hollywood’ and my Twitter feed, as well as the ‘Daily Beast,’ the ‘New York Times,’ ‘Metsblog,’ and ‘Thejetsblog.’
My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
Sometimes when I try to make jokes or have a sense of humor in interviews, it doesn’t go over very well. But Twitter made my life easier in this way that I didn’t expect. It would have taken probably 10 times as long for people to accept my voice and my sense of humor if I didn’t have Twitter.
I really admire the way the fans have joined me in social justice endeavours and the charitable work that I’ve been involved in. We’ve raised over $100,000 on Twitter for our non-profit in Uganda.
Twitter is essential to me because I wake up and check it religiously. It’s a way I communicate with my fan base.
‘Digiphrenia’ is really the experience of trying to exist in more than one incarnation of yourself at the same time. There’s your Twitter profile, there’s your Facebook profile, there’s your email inbox. And all of these sort of multiple instances of you are operating simultaneously and in parallel.
I don’t Twitter. I don’t text for those very reasons. I don’t want anything to be misinterpreted. I would encourage our guys not to do that.
That’s why I’m not on Twitter and don’t have an iPhone. It’s not because I’m superior to it: it’s because I would be a slave to it, and I don’t want that to happen.
When my alarm goes off between 6 to 6:30 A.M, the first thing I do is reach for my phone. I look at Twitter to see the headlines. It’s become my news aggregator. Then I check my Instagram.
I’m too busy to block everyone on Twitter.
I said a long time ago that Foursquare can make cities better. You have these augmented realities like Foursquare and Twitter and Facebook that provide these virtual nodes and instant feedback from anywhere, adding annotation around a physical places.
Twitter wasn’t planned. It just happened.
Many American TV actors employ agents, managers, business managers, publicists and stylists, and are now adding digital media manager to the list. Their job is to reach out to the fans, managing websites, Twitter feeds, Facebook and Wikipedia.
I’m not an entrepreneur. I’m not a CEO. I’m a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter.
I’ve stayed away from Twitter for a long time because I sort of didn’t trust myself with such an intimate but very public way of relating to the world, but I feel like I’ve studied it enough.
Speaking of Twitter, I don’t even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!
Twitter is really – I got very addicted to it just because it’s so simple, and it’s like a video game for comedy writers to just do a one-liner about something.
I have fun going on Twitter and the Internet. I feel safe and comfortable, and I wish everyone could feel that way.
Twitter needs to continue being a good listener and recognize that the service has been redefined by lots of people, tweet by tweet, but also come up with its own priorities.
I hate writing about personal stuff. I don’t have a Facebook page. I don’t use my Twitter account. I am familiar with both, but I don’t use them.
Studios might not be able to figure out my leanings, but anyone who visits my blog or reads my Twitter feed or meets me in person will realize right away that I am a huge superhero fan and a fanatic about Superman in particular.
With Instagram and Twitter, you’re constantly looking at other people and comparing yourself to them, and it’s just not beneficial. There is always going to be someone skinnier or prettier or with better skin, and that same girl you’re looking at is comparing herself to someone else.
I was convinced I’d hate Twitter – but I’ve come to like it very much. I use it mostly to keep in touch with friends and colleagues I wish I could see more often – I sometimes feel a little isolated living in Yorkshire, and it’s nice to have the contact.
I’m not on Twitter.
I’m not a fan of Twitter.
I had a hard enough time in high school, fitting in without having to keep up with Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook – all these ways you have to keep up your image.
Social cohesion was built into language long before Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter – we’re tribal by nature. Tribes today aren’t the same as tribes thousand of years ago: It isn’t just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: It’s sports fans, it’s communities, it’s geography.
I’m sure there are some commercial applications for Twitter, but they don’t really interest me. I mean, 140 characters? I am really not interested in Ashton Kutcher’s daily walks. Not for me.
I feel like I’m finally learning how to use Twitter, and Tweetbot has been a huge part of that. The interface is awesome, and it lets me easily manage two accounts at once.
‘Dependent web’ platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Yahoo are where people go to discover and share new content. Independent sites are the millions of blogs, community and service sites where passionate individuals ‘hang out’ with like-minded folks. This is where shared content is often created.
People moan about Twitter, people being rude and trolling. Just turn it off. Life goes on.
Twitter is almost novelistic.
At the risk of sounding like that old guy in ‘Gran Torino’ telling those ‘young punks’ to ‘get off my lawn,’ it’s gotten to the point that whenever I hear somebody talking about Twitter or twittering or tweeting, it just makes my little tummy want to hurl.
The world itself has become a smaller place. If you want to be remembered and create a legacy, you have to reach out to people. They want to know you. I can just say where I’m going, and Twitter will get it, and if there’s a controversy, I can give my opinion. It’s easier to communicate.
