Instagram was the first one I jumped on to, and I realized it's more about checking in with your friends and seeing what they're doing. It's weird how it's turned into something that's so prominent in our everyday lives. We're all hooked to our phone because of social media, and it's great that we can stay connected, but at the same time, I like frolicking outside and not looking at my phone. So it's hard to find that balance.
You have to control things, especially with the social media, because once it's out there, it's out there. And that becomes the fact.
Social media is really the heart of keeping in touch with your fans. I love it. You can try out new music on your fans, get immediate responses, spread the word about anything. It's really great. To reach me is to tweet me.
Social media reaches farther than we can physically reach with advertising.
It's Web, and then everything else. It's social media first, and everything else.
When I am abused online I take snapshots for evidence, I report it to the social media platform and I ban the abuser. If I am threatened with violence I report the abuser to the police. It is vital to remember that threatening violence online is just as illegal as it is offline. Know your rights and the reporting procedures of any online platform you use.
Twitter vs Instagram is a left brain versus right brain kind of social media device. Twitter is for speaking, whereas Instagram is for your artistry. It's how we communicate, via visual versus our words. So it's a good workout, it's a good brain workout.
We're still really in catch-up mode in terms of alerting people to the risks of social media, to the kind of consciousness that you need to have when you do publish something. It used to be such a deliberate and elaborate process to get to publication with many steps and phases and editors and you know, now it's instantaneous and it's wonderful, you know, the immediacy and the power of that but it also can be dangerous.
Social media's currency is the single photograph. Whereas, every time I look at a photograph, I look at twenty or thirty photographs. I'm looking for a narrative. And that's a different kind of construct. If you're a poet and you put a line from your poem online, "The trees bending over gracefully," or something, you can get a tick. But that has nothing to do with your longer poem.
Social media has dramatically changed the playing field in terms of crisis communications - and any company that does not effectively use social media to take the pulse of its constituents on a constant basis, and know how to communicate with them in a crisis, is breaching its fiduciary responsibilities to its stakeholders.
I don't have any social media. I'm pretty clueless, but I guess I did it would probably be something around food.
The future of profit is purpose.
How well you tell your story determines how well your customers tell your story.
Before social media, we shouted at our TV sets.
Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.
I feel conflicted about my relationship with social media.
Some CEO's feel like if the 'opt out of social' they are somehow protected. That is just crazy.
If all you did to improve your commercial presence was to train your sales people on the importance of influencers ... how much more effective could they be?
If on social media there is rampant offense over Donald Trump saying "We got some bad hombres out there," then Trump becomes a reprobate again, a sexist, a bigot, a misogynist, all of these things, 'cause we got some bad hombres out there.
I'm absolutely as vulnerable as the next person in terms of being swept up in aspirational Instagrams. You just have to know what is fantasy and what is real. It's always good to have a diverse feed in your life and in your social media.
PR got to be much bigger because of the emergence of digital media. Now we have hundreds of people who are, in a sense, manning embassies for Facebook and Twitter for brands. So the business in effect has morphed from pitching stories to traditional media, to working with bloggers, Twitter, Facebook and other social media, and then putting good content up on owned websites.
There is now a scourge that is called Twitter
If Twitter, Youtube & Facebook will be honest; if they'll stop being so immoral, stop attacking families, we'll support them
I think there are a lot of people out there that are speculating in the stock market. They have all kinds of tech stocks or social media stocks. If you want to gamble in the stock market, I would much rather gamble on a mining stock than a social media stock.
Surely, that's what interns were invented for?
