Michelle Phan Quotes

Social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr provide an unparalleled ability for people to stay connected in new and unique ways.

I like Instagram - it's a good way to keep up with my friends without having to text or call all the time, and I really like Snapchat.

Especially today, with the Internet, you have people who have best friends that they never met, with Facebook and Twitter and stuff. If you're really friends, it doesn't matter if I'm on the other side of the world. We'll still be friends and find a way to connect.

There is a big difference between tweeting to your friend about something that is happening and having a real personal relationship with people.

Real social situations are taking a back seat to social media.

The connection between someone in Leeds and a comedian in Los Angeles would probably never happen if it weren't for MySpace, so it enables friendship and connection far more than it limits it.

E-mail is a whole new way of being friends with people: intimate but not, chatty but not, communicative but not; in short, friends but not. What a breakthrough. How did we ever live without it? I have more to say on this subject, but I have to answer an instant message from someone I almost know.

I treat Twitter like I'm talking to my friends.

I met Yachty through Twitter early 2015.
