I think we in journalism were really late to social networks. We had a built-in network already in terms of our readers, and we didn't capitalize on that.
Most English writers are not interested in change but in the social novel. That demands a static backdrop. I'm intensely interested in change - probably as a matter of self-preservation. What the hell is going to happen next?
No surprise that, as companies have adopted social media en masse, demand for software and applications to manage and monitor social use has exploded.
I hope to be remembered for writing books about social justice that also have enough aesthetic value to endure as works of literature.
Comscore, Nielsen, MediaMetrix and Quantcast studies all show women are the driving force of the most important net trend of the decade, the social web.
Social media... it's the future for the new generation.
As the render is to the building, and the blueprint to the machine, so sport is to social existence.
With social media, there is a fashion that we speak louder than we think. It has just become a platform where people just judge and spread anger and hate.
Social media's greatest assets - anonymity, 'virality,' interconnectedness - are also its main weaknesses.
Social media is just a platform. Twitter is a very simple and immediate broadcast platform. Facebook is a very personal, when it comes to friends and when it comes to fan pages, a little bit less but still somewhat personal way to communicate.
I see myself as a social conservative, but I think that there are lots of social institutions that produce beneficial reforms, like public hospitals, for instance, and schools.
Social media is something of a double-edged sword. At its best, social media offers unprecedented opportunities for marginalized people to speak and bring much needed attention to the issues they face. At its worst, social media also offers 'everyone' an unprecedented opportunity to share in collective outrage without reflection.
I felt lost in endless spools of social media. All the while, emails by the thousands were piling up, phone calls were getting lost in the mix, and messages from the most important people in my life were getting drowned out in the din. I was more responsive to comments on Instagram than to my own closest friends and family.
A majority of Americans support Social Security and Medicare, a progressive tax system and a government that regulates business in the public interest, but most share deep skepticism about the government's ability to do all this well.
My website, my email magazine, my blog, my books, my corporate seminars, and my public seminars all create the ability for social media to work and all build reputation and ranking.
I've never been much given to little social cliques.
We know that Medicare is set to go bankrupt in 2024 with no action, and social security is set to be insolvent by 2037.
I started off at the Second City in Chicago... It's an improvisational theater that ostensibly does social and political satire, but when I was there, we generally didn't. We did character work, and we did just the silliest things we could think of. We weren't all that concerned with, you know, changing the world through mime.
If private-sector capital can be harnessed for social good, the potential to scale humanitarian solutions is vast.
I know I've erred in the past putting too much of my social justice sentiments in comics, but hopefully not too much, and I tried to only do that with characters that it made sense with it. These days, with the 'social justice' aspects of the two books I write, 'Catwoman' and 'Katana,' the concerns are more about moral justice.
I don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.
Social lets consumers talk about the products. You may pay your way onto the Facebook feed, but after that, it's conversations by the users. That's not sufficient because it leaves out what is possible for employees to talk, for R&D to talk, or the CEO to talk.
There was never a game plan to be on social media. Like most things in life, if you work consistently and at your pace, then things fall into place.
Good advice is just watch what you say on Facebook, on Twitter, on social networks because being sued is not fun. Filing a lawsuit is not fun. And being fired and having to do all of those things is not fun. So just avoid it.
In principle, every social situation involves strategic interaction among the participants.
Crime fiction is the fiction of social history. Societies get the crimes they deserve.
Strauss' water activities, which highlight both its social responsibility and commitment to the environment, meet a genuine need of people around the world today.
There's a real existential anxiety at having to exist not just in a generalised social framework, but a capitalist social framework.
My eldest brother Atticus just won an Oscar some years ago, as he wrote the music for 'The Social Network.'
When I did 'The Social Network', David Fincher told me that I managed to make a thankless character pretty awesome. I thought that was really cool because I think he's really cool.
I'm a big fan of the Mass Effect games, and that's all about social manipulation and observing people and alliances and relationships.
I read the paper pretty much every day, as well as getting news from the Internet and on TV. But I don't do social media at all; I'm a Luddite from that point of view.
Social media has had a corrosive effect on government and trust, and I think it is a real cause for concern.
Using social media to hurt and destroy is callous, acted out by cowards hiding behind computers. My advice is to ignore negativity. Focus on the love around.
Mitt Romney's primary season embrace of the social and economic agenda of the more rabid elements of his party doomed him, especially the shrill immigration rhetoric and the harshly insensitive theory that no additional sacrifice or contribution should be sought from those at the top.
Because capitalist society has expanded the productive forces so enormously, the social conditions under which it arose lag behind and become fetters holding back the further growth of productive forces.
