The minute you hear the word 'share,' you start thinking Twitter and Facebook. These are the places that people can very quickly share something they've just discovered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sharing is the essence of social media.
Twitter became a major place to find out what was breaking on the Internet. Facebook became a place to share links. Social media really grew up.
A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.
The way the Facebook network is set up, it's not as suitable for content discovery. Twitter is better, but there are too many over-sharers. Also, on Twitter and Facebook, everything comes from people you know. On StumbleUpon, it comes from people that you don't necessarily know but share your interests.
People share everything on Facebook. That can be a very good thing or a very noisy thing. With Foursquare, people know that they're getting information specifically about a place, advice about where they are and what they could be doing. It's a very filtered view of the world.
To share a story is in part to take ownership of it, especially because you are often able to comment on a story that you are sharing on social media.
I was really excited by the idea that people were sharing information now and discovering information in a totally new way on the Internet via Twitter and Facebook, yet that experience was pretty clunk and just lots of bit.ly links.
Social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr provide an unparalleled ability for people to stay connected in new and unique ways.
When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?
Twitter, Facebook are so different from where I began. It's like a fire that takes off... I'm reading everybody's Twitter.
