Matt Mullenweg Quotes

Twitter was a mere prototype in 2006; now, many of us have become adept at saying all we have to say in 140 characters.

My generation was born to work with social media - it's a natural part of our communication with the world.

I don't have an editor on Twitter. I have an editor in the paper, and so I tend to be less precise in 140 characters and sometimes I leave people confused as to my meaning. And then I make the mistake of engaging and trying to explain it, which just leads you down a rabbit hole.

Twitter, Facebook are so different from where I began. It's like a fire that takes off... I'm reading everybody's Twitter.

Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication.

In America, everyone writes but no one reads. Everyone's writing all day long - sending emails, tweets, text messages; they all think they're James Cameron's Avatar, performing in some video game for which they make up the script.

I try to write about how we live today, how we use language, technology, our bodies.
