Twitter can make a lot of things happen if you get enough retweets.
There's no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something's a story because Drudge links to it.
I remember having 100 views on a video and being like, "I don't have a hundred friends." So that was a moment.
The power of Twitter still never ceases to amaze me.
I know that I'm kind of a big deal online, but I think that some of that is starting to seep into the streets, and you want to kind of continue to make sure it does that.
I was part of the generation that pushed the Internet. In fact, I broke as an artist in the U.S.A. because of the Internet.
If it wasn't for the Internet, I might never have left WWE. Then again, if it wasn't for the Internet, I probably wouldn't have been brought back.
Digitization has altered the nature of the film industry. Social media, especially, has become a decisive factor in determining a film's box office success.
I think because of social media and YouTube things are changing. Today people have a judgement about films.
It's weird: when I first got on Twitter, I had a couple hundred, then thousand, followers. Now I have over 53,000.
Instagram is a 24-hour online magazine. You can see everything you like non-stop, and it has certainly had an effect on the makeup industry.
Social media absolutely changed my life and many others in a positive way.
I think middle America has changed very, very much. I think people are way more open-minded. I think - I think it's because the Internet. I think they're exposed to so much. All the men talked about how much they love their wife, which I don't hear all the time in art communities.
The decentralized nature of online conversations often makes it easier to manipulate public opinion, both domestically and globally. Regimes that once relied on centralized systems of media control can now deliver ideological messages more subtly, with the help of little-known intermediaries like anonymous commenters on websites.
When all is said and done and the e-book is written about politics and the Internet, it is not going to be about the presidential election. It will be about the smaller elections in aggregate that have a huge effect on people's lives.
Soundcloud is the best thing that ever happened to me honestly.
It's not about how much screen time I have, what matters is reaching out to a huge number of people.
I've seen the negative impact social media can have, particularly on younger players, who grew up with Twitter and Instagram as an integral part of life.
I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I'm working at it.
In reality, if there are 200 people commenting on something online, it's less than a grain of salt in a huge beach of humanity - who cares?
Every pastor, youth pastor, and every parent is in competition with the Internet and the information it is spreading. Most young people don't get their news from CNN or CBS; they get it from bloggers.
It's impossible to overstate how important social media has been to me and the development of my career. The fact that I can go and play venues that hold 25,000 people and sell them out is crazy.I don't have music on the radio. I'm not a pop culture icon. I'm just this kid making dance music. And yet I still can sell out massive arenas. It's truly incredible, and I think a lot of that is because of social media.
Social media has changed my life, and it taught me that you can make your own path and really find who you are as an artist, in whatever capacity.
I wrote the book based on a blog that I keep. I also tweet. I don't think that for an incredibly old fart I'm totally behind the power curve. I really believe that the essentials of human relationships remain the same.
I was a serious method actor until I visited this site.
