I am an unrepentant tweetaholic. I use the communications service all day long to discover news, interesting tidbits and, of course, to flack the work of our tech and media news site, Re/code.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I use Twitter as a tool to get involved with people, to sell tickets to gigs where I can stand in a room and smell the audience - and I love that!
My Twitter feed is probably my biggest resource of news. Other people scour the web so I do not have to, and I thank them for it.
I only tweet about food and silly things, but it's really fascinating because I get a lot of response on Twitter, and I'm always looking at the type of people who write me on there, and it is such a variety.
I'm very comfortable with tweeting, I have a very active author Facebook page, I Skype book clubs all over the world.
One of the most delightful parts of being a writer is connecting with people via social media. I devote ten minutes out of every writing hour to Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other sites. I don't use assistants for that. It's me and all of my friends, fans, readers, and colleagues on the crazyboat.
I'm not a crazy Twitter guy to where I'm tweeting out stuff every day, and rarely even once a week do I tweet. But I mean, occasionally, I read some stuff.
I do Twitter, but I'm still not great on it - I'm not good at writing short little jokes, so my Twitter's not really a jokey thing.
We use social media as an adjunct to my total media/market outreach.
I'm an instant responder. Somebody told me I'm a living Twitter. I'm quick to respond and quick to fill air.
Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.
