I have a personal Twitter for band purposes, but I don't use social media a lot.
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.
When I'm on a set, and I'm in between a scene or on a plane waiting, I read Twitter and I love it.
Everyone knows I love my fans. I wouldn't change them for the world. They have been by my side and haven't left me even when times have been tough. I try to chat with all my fans on Twitter.
I'm a Twitter addict. Jose Andres is a serial tweeter. It's funny to see which chefs have embraced it, and the different paths they take.
The interesting thing about the top 200 to 300 tweeters - a lot of them are musicians, actors, etc. LeBron James, etc. I think Lady Gaga is number one. But! They're not all celebrities. There's 'CNN Breaking News.' And the 'New York Times.' And other brands like Gary Vaynerchuk, who aren't really that known outside that world.
I think I have the best Twitter following, about 40,000. Many players have more, but I'm proud of all of them. They all have a special place in my heart.
I try to share a lot of my life on Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, everything. I really like interacting with fans on Twitter and answering their questions and just getting to know them because it's cool for them to have people who are connecting with my music reach out and show interest.
If somebody tweets 'I like Coca-Cola,' does that mean that they're actually going to buy Coca-Cola? One can? Two cans? Three cans? If they retweet someone else's Tweet, does that mean they're going to buy it?
The great thing about Twitter is, you get a lot back, and I read through a lot, and I want my fans to know that I do read a lot, and it's why I do respond or retweet clever posts, and I'm constantly amazed by the cleverness of people on Twitter.
Kim was the one who taught us how to use Twitter and how to engage and really capture the attention of followers and the fans.
I'm on Twitter, and I have over 10,000 followers. Which is pretty modest compared to Charlie Sheen.
I have been hearing from people that everyone is loving my music, which is a great feeling. To be honest, it's overwhelming... The female following on Twitter is insane.
I only tweet about food and silly things, but it's really fascinating because I get a lot of response on Twitter, and I'm always looking at the type of people who write me on there, and it is such a variety.
A novel is too much of a commitment. I tend to peruse Twitter - I check to see if I had any mentions and read the latest messages.
I'm a huge Twitter dork! That's the best way for fans to keep informed about what's going on with me.
I entertain more than just sayin', 'oh that's a female rapper,' or 'oh, that's a rapper,' period.' But, me, I put out music, and when I put it out, I also entertain on Twitter. I entertain on stage. I entertain talking to people.
On Twitter, there'll be fans of 'Army Wives' and people who say, 'I've been following you since 'Supernatural,' I loved you on 'Person of Interest,'' and it's really cool to get that love. To them, I'm not just an overnight success.
I get a kick out of replying to people on Twitter sometimes if I make a joke.
If you're on social media as a performer you can tell. If you don't get any Tweets you know it's bombed. I can pretty much gauge how it's doing by comparing the reception to shows I've done that have actual ratings.
When I'm on Twitter, we just talk to people. I call all my Twitter followers my 'Twitter babies.'
A lot of folks focus on using Twitter as a marketing tool. They'll have a bump that says something like 'Tweet about the NewTeeVee show! Use the hashtag #newteevee.' And that's great - folks should definitely do that. What gets us really excited, though, is when they go an extra step and start to transform tweets into TV content.
If I say something about David [Bowie], I get 1000 tweets, if I say something about my business just a few! The more personal, the better.
Lately I've been feeling like 50 percent of the great content I read comes from Twitter conversations.
I like to read quotes that touch on how I am feeling [on social media]. If I am dealing with confusion, I will read quotes about clarity and peace of mind. I started posting these quotes on my Twitter page, and the fans responded so positively! I realized that many of them were dealing with similar issues, and the quotes helped to open up a genuine dialogue between us.
