Twitter's been interesting. I'm kind of a tech geek, but I've never been a Facebook or Twitter guy. Surprisingly, I've really enjoyed Twitter because I get to connect with fans.

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

I know what Twitter is; I don't use it. I don't use Facebook, so luckily, it does zero to my ego.

Social media is just a platform. Twitter is a very simple and immediate broadcast platform. Facebook is a very personal, when it comes to friends and when it comes to fan pages, a little bit less but still somewhat personal way to communicate.

Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now.

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.

Social media is its own sort of thing: Twitter and Facebook have changed the way everyone perceives everything.

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 am not a fan of Facebook or Twitter. They both allow too much information to be available and they make privacy a thing of the past.

Facebook and Twitter have a ton of information they're trying to make sense of.
