With the evolution of social media that includes blogging, Facebook, and Twitter, who and how information is delivered has changed tremendously. The landscape for news is a different place, and people have to accept that.

Twitter and Facebook are brilliant tools, the journalistic uses of which are still being plumbed. They are great for disseminating interesting material. They are useful for gathering information, including from places that are inaccessible.

I think social media has amplified a lot of voices that maybe traditional media hasn't perfectly portrayed.

Before blogs, it was all about physical presence. We used to send out videos and audiotapes to communicate. Blogging and the Internet allow us to engage in a lot more real time conversations as opposed to a one-way dump of information or a message.

When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?

When you look at things like Flickr and Youtube, they are specialised blogging systems, so why hasn't blogging encompassed that ease of functionality?

Social media is social. We're looking to touch one heart at a time. With one great story at a time.

Social media provides an avenue to build relationships with media outlets and have an ongoing relationship with reporters.

I think blogging is a muscle that most people wear out.

Twitter is awesome to share news with fans, but I would never choose to only have social media and put everything in my life on display.
