There is joint action, but no joint thinking. There is only tradition which preserves thoughts and communicates them to others as a stimulus to their thinking.

“Facebook is nothing but heavily packaged “Kodak moments” that bear no relation to how people really live.” 

"What's interesting about Twitter and the influencers that someone follows - like, say, Shaquille O'Neal - is that they see someone who is using the exact same tools that they have access to, and I think that inspires this hope to be able to really engage with someone like him."

"It's a matter of invitations versus context. Twitter is really good at providing context, like, I''m having coffee at Third Rail Coffee.' Foursquare is about invitations to places. In this respect Foursquare has started to replace Yelp for me."

"I think Twitter is best when it sparks conversations elsewhere. To use YouTube and Facebook and all the tools we have available to us today to respond and also promote and answer and engage is awesome."

"I am someone who tweets about what I have for breakfast, what I have for lunch, what I have for dinner, and for 99.99999 percent of the world, it's useless. It's meaningless. But for my mother, she loves it."

"Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now."

"My mom cares that I tweeted a picture of my breakfast. She's knows I'm eating and I'm safe."

"Twitter is the world."

"Twitter was around communication and visualizing what was happening in the world in real-time. Square was allowing everyone to accept the form of payment people have in their pocket today, which is a credit card."

"I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network."

"The idea of Twitter started with me working in dispatch since I was 15 years old, where taxi cabs or firetrucks would broadcast where they were and what they were doing."

"People aren't going to talk about it except me and that is communication and the visits I have personally had in our meetings with our store managers saying if you do these things you will be terminated, period."

"Dancing is very important to people who play music with a beat. I think that people who don't dance, or who never did dance, don't really understand the beat... I know musicians who don't and never did dance, and they have difficulty communicating."

"What is reading, but silent conversation."

"Society is made up of groups, and as long as the smaller groups do not have the same rights and the same protection as others - I don['t care whether you call it capitalism or communism -it is not going to work. Somehow, the guys in power have to be reached by counterpower, or through a change in their hearts and minds, or change will not come."

"People communicate in Twittering ways. I've learned how to do that."

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said."

"When we started in television, there was that magic box in the corner of the room, and 'Oh my gosh - look what it's doing!'"

"When I realized I could use Facebook as a way to communicate directly with my fans, I thought it would be a great idea."

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.

It is generally better to deal by speech than by letter; and by the mediation of a third than by a man's self.

“I’m a reflection of the community.”

“The only people I truly envy are those who can play a musical instrument and those who can eat anything they want without gaining weight.”
