Joanne Harris Quotes

Social media gives one a family to share one's life with.

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.

Social media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.

Yo, it's helped me so much. I've connected with so many people that I've never imagined that I would ever know personally. I'm team Internet, for sure.

When I'm on Twitter, we just talk to people. I call all my Twitter followers my 'Twitter babies.'

Bulletin boards are sort of the garage bands of cyberspace.

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

The Internet is full of strangers, generous strangers who want to help you for no reason at all. Strangers post poetry and discographies and advice and essays and photos and art and diatribes. None of them are known to you, in the old-fashioned sense. But they give the Internet its life and meaning.

Twitter is an amazing thing, because people follow each other and they can make friends.

I think social media is a great place to share ideas and to connect with other people.

The future belongs to social media. It is egalitarian and inclusive. Social media is not about any country, any language, any colour, any community but it is about human values and that is the underlying link binding humanity.

I'm kind of a social person and I enjoy corresponding with people and checking out their Facebook pages. And it really doesn't take much time. Ten minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at night and a little bit during the day. It's just something I really enjoy.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?

On the personal level, the people that follow you on Twitter are always nice to hear from.

Social media allows me to pick my times for social interaction.

I grew up with a computer, and many of my friends were people I met online.

Between Twitter and Facebook and how close you can be with your fans and how close they can be to you these days is, I think, quite miraculous. It's like getting a greeting card every single day.

On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it's easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there. When they smile - right, you've seen people stop - all of a sudden, life is being lived there, somewhere up in that weird, dense network.

The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.

I particularly like Facebook because it straddles the gap between seeing people and not seeing them.

The internet is a wild land with its own games, languages and gestures through which we are starting to share common feelings.

Twitter isn't a social network, it's an information network.

Communications is at the heart of e-commerce and community.

It's a deeper connection when you meet someone online and talk to them every day.

Twitter makes me feel like I have friends all over.
